ACTION
BY SAM SHEPARD
APRIL 2010 | EARL ARTS CENTRE, LAUNCESTON
"I'm looking forward to my life. I'm looking forward to me."
In a frozen world, Jeep, Shooter, Liza and Lupe are reading the planet's last book, dancing its final soft shoe, eating its final turkey and waiting for their life to begin.
Action is an hour-long riff on the forces that drive communities together and the mini-explosions that drive communities apart.
"...intriguing, disturbing, enthralling, confronting and entertaining... the four characters who fill the play seem thrown together with no sense of cohesion. They react and interact but still seem to be isolated in their own particular realities... Director Darren Willmott has assembled a a strong team of young actors who commit to his vision and Shepard’s world... Action is a one-act journey into a disturbed world but it is worth the trip..." - Jeff Hayes, The Examiner
