Never Did Me Any Harm – Force Majeure and Sydney Theatre Company
Having garnered plenty of acclaim at this year’s Sydney Festival, Never Did Me Any Harm now comes to Melbourne.
Overview
The words “never did me any harm” are most often uttered by the old and cantankerous to justify some form of extreme child disciplining they’re itching to dole out. Appropriate then, that they’re used as the title for this exploration of modern parenting from director Kate Champion.
Performed by members of Champion’s dance company Force Majeure and actors from the Sydney Theatre Company, the show is a blend of dance, physical performance and documentary theatre.
Champion, working with Mr Cate Blanchett, STC’s Andrew Upton, used a wide array of actual interviews on the subject to create the script, making for a detailed and nuanced examination of the role parenthood plays in our lives.
Having garnered plenty of acclaim at this year’s Sydney Festival, Never Did Me Any Harm now comes to Melbourne.
It’s a show for parents, children and the child-free alike. Go see it (or go to your room…)
