Sleeping Rough - A Duo of Duologues - Break In/Night A Wall Two Men

Work:: Sleeping Rough (S1900309336)


Production:: A Duo of Duologues - Break In/Night A Wall Two Men (T2138566265)

Sleeping Rough: A Duo of Duologues, is a season of two short, dynamic, Australian plays for the Brighton Fringe, 2008, which examine the causes, the consequences and the coping mechanisms of homelessness. If you like gritty Aussie film, you'll love these violently poetic, visceral, funny Australian plays. Break In - Two young heroin addicts, Julie and Cam, anchored to a street bench, act out a drama that captures their hopeless predicament at the bottom of the social pile and the intermittent but crucial optimism that helps them imagine the possibility of progress. They do this without ever breaking out from a linguistically crippled vocabulary, often expletive-laden, that in itself is heartbreaking. We must translate this into knowledge that they can feel but barely express. Night A Wall Two Men - This vicious, funny play is exactly what it says on the box: two nameless "down-and-outs" against a wall with their nightly musings, arguments, abuse and lamentations to keep them company. This is theatre of poverty, of the voiceless and invisible, which emerges from the shadows and bites you on the arse. Frequent coarse language
