"As a visitor to Perth who likes to see live theatre, this was a terrific show in a great venue. The versatility and impact of the acting and its closeness was most appreciated."

A sculpture of two shop mannequins engaged in the act of fellatio; a nude charcoal of a woman who hates her stomach; and a man who becomes obsessed by a woman installed in an art gallery ...

Art’s Desire is a collection of three short and diverse plays which are all based around the theme of the way we use art to try and make sense of our lives - of our joy, fear and desire. The plays question how art is driven and affected by our personal relationships and how art itself then challenges our perceptions of those relationships.

“Fellatio! ...Why fellatio? ...What’s wrong with a good old still life? What’s wrong with fruit?!! That’s what I say! Why does our daughter have to depict ...fellatio?”
