Win Tickets to Sisters Grimm’s Summertime in the Garden of Eden
The cotton fields of the American South provide rich pickings for melodrama, drag, and obscenity.
Summertime in the Garden of Eden began as a piece of scratch theatre, whipped up in three weeks and playing to packed out audiences in a suburban Melbourne shed. Its makers, the Sisters Grimm (Ash Flanders and Declan Greene), have since ridden a massive wave of recognition, which sees the show coming to Sydney's Griffin Theatre as part of the Independent Season, just months after their hilarious Little Mercy played at the Sydney Theatre Company.
The Sisters' work leaves gender roles exploded in their wake, shattering familiar tropes of stage and screen. In Summertime, the cotton fields of the American South provide rich pickings for their brand of melodrama, drag, and obscenity — undercut at all times by a keen, subversive edge.
Thanks to Griffin Theatre, we have two double passes to the first preview performance of Summertime in the Garden of Eden on November 20 to give away.
