How do you
survive life in a virtual ghost town without becoming a
ghost yourself?
In Thatcher’s Britain, the grey
fog of depression invades the working class streets of
Lancashire. Guided by an unscrupulous drunk, the
audience embarks on an evening's tour along a scruffy
road, atching glimpses of the inhabitants and their
seemingly desperate lives.
Road is a sharp, sad but often funny play about
the humanity of it all, directed by QUT Alumnus Oliver
Torr (Burke
& Wills)
