Whose side are you on?
Presented by La Boite
New parents Emily and Simon are struggling.
With Simon in LA for work, a sleep-deprived Emily is left alone to care for baby Dylan, triggering a chain reaction that will alter everyone’s lives.
Audiences are in for a heart-stopping psychological thrill ride, not knowing who to trust and who to believe, as the couple’s relationship unravels.
The world premiere of Naked & Screaming is a new Australian family tragedy with a savage script by award-winning playwright Mark Rogers (2019 Griffin Award, 2019 Patrick White Playwrights Award).
It takes a searing look at the dynamics of new parenthood and throws a dagger into the heart of relationships.
Strap in as acclaimed Queensland actors Emily Burton (Single Asian Female) and Jackson McGovern (Death of a Salesman) unflinchingly unravel Emily and Simon’s worlds in this two-person dramatic thriller.
Naked & Screaming makes its world premiere at La Boite from 6 – 27 February 2021.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, La Boite has limited the performances and capacity available to school groups. If you require a performance not listed above, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
