Extinction — Red Stitch Actors Theatre
Nothing is black and white in this new Red Stitch co-production.
Overview
Sex, money and an endangered marsupial form the spine of a new stage play from acclaimed writer Hannie Rayson (Hotel Sorrento). On stage at the Melbourne Arts Centre from August 9 to 13, Extinction takes place on a stormy night in the Victorian Otways, and follows an unlikely group of characters brought together in an effort to save the life of an injured tiger quoll. But high tensions and hidden agendas soon cloud any clear path, as those on stage — and those in the audience — are confronted with a situation in which nothing is black and white.
Co-presented by Red Stitch Actors Theatre and the Geelong Performing Arts Centre, this limited season stars Colin Lane (of Lano and Woodley fame), alongside veteran performer Natasha Herbert and Red Stitch regulars Brett Cousins and Ngaire Dawn Fair.
