Written by playwright Anna Barnes, and produced by indie theatre company Stories Like These, this is a new take on Sophocle’s Electra told from the point of view of strangers.
Directed by Luke Rogers, the play unfolds as a father decides to sacrifice his eldest daughter for the common good.
Organising to have her snatched away during a TV ad break, this pivotal moment shakes the family’s foundations like nothing before.
Altering their behaviour and family dynamic, watch as mother turns against father, son turns against mother, and sister turns against sister.
Eternal obsessions mingle with the obsessions of our times, bloodshed goes hand in hand with Bacardi Breezers and Facebook, and a chilling portrait emerges of a family irreversibly shattered by grief and guilt.
Winner of the Patrick White Playwrights’ Award in 2013, MinusOneSister is a play not to be missed.
Cost of admission is $38 for adults, $30 concession, senior, preview, groups 8+, and $30 for those under 30.
