The Only Child

Overview

Silo Theatre's The Only Child is a gripping portrait of a marriage; darkly funny but ultimately liberating, it deals with the marriage with tension and candour.

They were the ultimate couple, but, like so many others, their relationship has descended into a mash of resent, sexual frustration and withdrawn turmoil.

When their son goes missing, Rita and Alfred are forced to adjust their lives.  This is the rawness of contemporary marriage: mercurial, tender, honest.

Aussie writer/director Simon Stone has picked up Henrik Ibsen's classic text and reframed it for a contemporary audience. Artistic Director Shane Bosher follows up his critically acclaimed, sold out productions of When the Rain Stops Falling and The Brothers Size with this knockout piece of contemporary theatre.

Featuring Claire Chitham, Josephine Davison, Stephen Lovatt and Sam Snedden.

CONCRETE PLAYGROUND has a double pass to give away to the TWENTYSOMETHING performance of The Only Child on Wednesday 31st August, kicking off with complimentary beer & pizza from 7:30pm before the show starts at 8pm.
