DANGER ENSEMBLE: DAY AFTER TERRIBLE DAY IN MELBOURNE
Danger Ensemble's new promenade performance work - Day After Terrible Day, directed bay Steven Mitchell Wright. It's been exciting, challenging and wonderful to be part of this rigorous process of devising. The first season has been at Theatre Works, St Kilda.
The Danger Ensemble welcome you into a house built on promises, filled with memories that might have happened, haunted by love.
Inspired by Australia's own Miss Havisham, DAY AFTER TERRIBLE DAY invites audiences into the fictionalised home of real-life eternal bride-to-be, Emily Eliza Donnithorne.
In Sydney during the 1850's Miss Donnithorne, jilted on her wedding day became a recluse.
Thirty years on she died wearing her bridal gown, her wedding feast uneaten and mouldered to dust.
Award-winning contemporary theatre provocateurs, The Danger Ensemble return to Theatre Works with this surprisingly playful and radical world premiere that collides Aussie larrikinism with Victorian era restraint.
