About the play
Step inside the tumultuous world of the Colemans as they prepare to take on their greatest adversary yet: Themselves.
Widowed matriarch Jerica yearns to sell the decaying family home and break free from her past. Her conservative son Charles seeks to reinvent himself as a modern publican and councillor, while his wife Phoebe doesn’t know what she wants – except that it’s probably not Charles.
Meanwhile, underneath all their noses, reclusive grandchild Cooper forges an unlikely connection with Lachie, the enigmatic tradie tasked with repairing Jerica’s house.
Things are finally looking up for the Colemans until Jerica’s estranged, prickly daughter Brit returns home guarding a secret so big it threatens to blow up the entire family.
A universal tale of love, courage and intergenerational trauma, this darkly comedic new Australian play boldly examines why families stay together – and what happens when they can’t.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for five actors to bring this play to life! Dramatic experience is a plus but certainly not required! These actors will work closely with the director and the rest of the production team to rehearse and develop this show. Rehearsals will take place on two weeknights, and one weekend day a week starting in March, with rehearsals expected to increase closer to opening of the show.
