Love Me Tender – Mutation Theatre

Overview

Australia, the beautiful brown land that she is, can often be cruel. One of her many weapons, the raging bushfire, takes centrestage in Love Me Tender. In the aftermath of devastation, a community comes together in grief and confusion, as one man searches for his missing daughter.

Written by acclaimed Australian writer Tom Holloway (a graduate of both Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art and London's Royal Court Theatre International Playwriting Studio), directed by Patrick McCarthy, and brought to us by Melbourne-based Mutation Theatre, the play can be expected to ask the hard questions and really challenge the audience.

In a beautiful portrayal of modern Australian society, questions of sex, love and community come together as characters grapple with the question of what to do when everything has fallen apart.
