Fewer Emergencies
by Martin Crimp
2006 | Red Stitch, Melbourne AU
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Three short ‘plays’ - Whole Blue Sky, Face to the Wall and Fewer Emergencies. The first depicts a loveless marriage, the second tells the story of a school shooting and the third piece unmasks an emergency that is occurring “right now”. Crimp’s surreal and cruel script intertwines ideas and shocking truths about life, death, relationships, abuse and emergencies.

This should not be missed - four actors working with great skill and focus on a script which forces reflection on how we think and talk about contentment and disturbances to it.
