Edward Gant’s Amazing Feats of Loneliness

Overview

To bare witness to the La Boite and Sydney Theatre Company's much anticipated co-production of Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness is to venture into a whimsical world where quirky tales are made to be believed. An intriguing world where fantasy, reality and sequinned capes keep you captivated for hours.

The tales shared and depicted by the talented cast of three are abstract to say the least; pimples that spout pearls, a cork in the head to cure a broken heart, teddy bears begging for imaginary tea. Nothing is too evocative or risque for Edward Gant and his Amazing Feats of Loneliness either. The show will have you throw caution to the wind of political correctness to chuckle at naughty Catholic Priest jokes along with other controversial quips.

Amongst the heart felt portrayals of tragic tales are some of the most magnificent costumes by Australian designer darlings Romance Was Born. Championed by style icon Cate Blanchett, who is on the board of the Sydney Theatre Company, Romance Was Born add great colour and sparkle to the show via tulle teddy bear heads, pastel printed onesies and even a strap on beard made entirely of pearls. Now that's my kind of facial hair.
