This July, Malthouse Theatre, presents Ash Flanders’ new work, This Is Living, a semi-autobiographical play that turns The Malthouse into a Hepburn Springs getaway.
Writer Ash Flanders is notorious for crafting caustic comedy that make audiences laugh ‘til they hurt, only this time he’s gone somewhere completely unexpected – the real world. This semi-autobiographical play is the saltiest, sweetest and most honest look at love, friendship and chosen family.
Check your emotional baggage at the door because this self-described gang of queers, singles and divorcees is going on holiday. Hugh has organised a fabulous weekend for his partner and their best girlfriends in Hepburn’s finest to escape a year from hell. But even deli meats, medical hydroponics and soaking in spring water can’t fix everything. Try as you might to float on the surface, life has a funny way of bubbling up – and over.
This is Living is directed by Malthouse Theatre Artistic Director Matthew Luttonand stars Marcus McKenzie, Wil King (In Our Blood, Belinda McClory (Because The Night), Maria Theodorakis (Because The Night) and Michelle Perera and opens Wednesday 12 July at Malthouse’s Merlyn Theatre.
