Roulette archiveA selection of Raimondo Cortese s Roulette series. These raw, gritty, witty duologues have a dark edge of black humour and menace, illuminating the moments of beauty or cruelty that are inherent in any encounter between two people. Sometimes they are chance meetings between strangers, at other times between friends, colleagues or family. Collectively they present an epic display of human frailty... Presented throughout Australia, they mark the debut of playwright Raimondo s Cortese in the UK. Hotel:Tara and Jane, two "rough as guts" hotel cleaners discuss the intricacies of work relations, theft and Kylie Minogue - with violent consequences. Fortune: After the death of his partner, Terry, an old age pensioner, is enslaved by an aggressive prodigal son. Borneo: Angelica, a psychotherapist befriends a young passenger on a return flight home to learn precisely how it feels to have a monkey on her back. Sickness: There is nothing fantastical about a dying man s confessions to a put-upon priest about his Oedipal tendencies.
