“Jasmine Swan’s set is beautifully evocative of the harsh landscapes of rural Australia, where the piece is set. The stellar cast truly showcases their skill, bringing to life heightened, poetic language and unexpected phraseology.”
“While universal in its themes, it’s set in the Australian outback, a landscape suggested by the scorched red sand of Jasmine Swan’s set. Over the stage hovers a curling, oppressive blue wave. Could it be grief about to come crashing down? It’s more likely relief. Up an invisible tree is the decomposing corpse of a man who made his family’s lives a violent, miserable living hell. ”
