"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."

Richard and Corinne have recently moved to the country with their children. One night, Richard brings home a strange young woman he claims to have found lying beside the road. As the truth about her begins to unfold, their fragile domestic space is threatened by sinister, primordial forces emanating both from outside and from within.

The Country is a surreal and uncanny thriller about denial, desire and the impossibility of escape. This is a chilling new production by the company that brought you The Reader (Blue Room Members’ Choice Award 2003).

“It’s your job? It’s your job to bring a strange woman into the house in the middle of the night?”

Full $18 / Conc. $12
