Overview

We’ve all heard that old adage “what’s been said, can’t be unsaid”, most of us having experienced that feeling of dread about the night before at one time or another. When the booze is flowing freely, tongues tend to get looser as inhibitions slide away, but the damage cannot always easily be undone. This is the theme of Thirty Three, the latest play from Ray Cathode Tube , written by Michael Booth and Alistair Powning, on at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst.

In a terrace house in trendy Newtown, the beautiful Saskia is welcoming her friends to a low-key dinner in celebration of her 33rd birthday. However, the unexpected arrival of her estranged brother, Josh, throws a spanner in the works and things take a turn for the debaucherous. Suddenly what should have been a civilised evening is careening off in an entirely different direction, as the guests become increasingly intoxicated, and it’s not just alcohol being consumed.

The volatile recipe for disaster is finished off with a couple heading for divorce, an uninvited narcissistic cokehead and a lesbian flower child. Underlying tensions and secrets are all revealed, but will they be able to pick up the pieces in the morning?
