MKA: Theatre of New Writing

Dark, funny and against all odds, one of the finest pieces of theatrical text in 2012. Short-listed for the prestigious 2012 Patrick White Award.

Where does one begin when reviewing a production such as sex.violence.blood.gore? This is a piece that defies criticism. It exists to provoke, to inspire, to offend and to encourage conversation. Whether the dialogue is poetically shaped or heavy handed and awkward is irrelevant. The goal of this piece is to trigger a reaction from the audience, and in this respect S.V.B.G. is a success

When sex.violence. blood.gore was first performed, it was in a basement, in secret, and the company did not advertise. It was 1999. It was Singapore.

Nobody has a sense of humour in Reykjavik.

The Horror Face presents three interconnected realities that together accentuate mankind’s capacity for affection and communication as defining features of what we might be, and what we might become. The Horror Face by Glyn Roberts runs till July 9. For more info and bookings visit: www.mka.org.au
