The Bluff at Hayward Street Theatre
*After the award-winning productions of SHELTER and Hello Stranger, The Drawer Productions presents the premiere of this new Australian Gothic at Fringe Brisbane.*
A man is missing. Do you save face or face the town?
Hidden in a seaside town at the bottom of Australia, a community shuffles through the days, each the same as the last. The ladies gather in the tearoom of the church charity-shop as their familiar world whirls around them like clockwork.
When the pillar of the town Charles Fortsmith goes missing, his wife is left to face the community he left behind. She must decide between hope and truth, undeterred by the watchful eye of righteous neighbours.
Watch as the salty air erodes the town’s comfortable facade, and the grotesque underbelly is revealed; an examination of what we bury to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
