PRODUCTION INFORMATION

From two leading playwrights, Simon Stephens (UK) and Tom Holloway (Aus) comes an exhilarating cross-continental endevour in Dead Centre | Sea Wall.  In Tom Holloway’s Dead Centre we meet Helen, journeying to the land of Neighbours and Uluru in search of solace.  In Stephens’ Sea Wall, Alex invites us into his life and all that he cherishes. These beautifully written companion pieces explore family, time, place and how we deal with things that cannot be undone.

Dead Centre was developed through Red Stitch’s INK program.
