State Theatre Company South Australia presents
This Is Where We Live - State Ed

12 May 2015 to 16 May 2015

Presented by State Theatre Company and Hothouse Theatre
By Vivienne Walshe


Nobody’s looking back at me. I’m in the underworld, now.
 

Brought up on the wrong side of the tracks with an unrelenting limp, Chloe has had to develop a vicious outer-shell to shield against daily bullying. Moving to a new town in the middle of nowhere hasn’t made things easier.

Chloe has bleak hopes for her future until she meets ‘Odd Boy’ Chris, the painfully unpopular son of her new English teacher. An intense bond is forged and the two outsiders begin to see the glimmer of new possibilities amidst their smalltown underworld.

Evoking the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, Vivienne Walshe’s This is Where We Live is packed with vivid poetic language that is brimming with as much life and energy as its characters. Winner of the 2012 Griffin Award, this is an exceptional piece of brave and exciting new Australian writing.

In our first ever co-production with Albury-Wodonga’s Hothouse Theatre we welcome their outgoing Artistic Director Jon Halpin who, alongside two bright young Adelaide talents Matilda Bailey (The Seagull, Vere) and James Smith (Neighbourhood Watch, Othello), will create this darkly poetic version of regional Australia.
