Public Dancing

By Peter Webb

05 June 2001 – 14 July 2001 Beckett Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere

Public Dancing takes us into the world of the young and the listless in a typically grungy shared house.

Public Dancing is trenchant, visceral theatre that mainlines the highs and lows of dependency. This is a poignant and beautifully shaped play offering a sensitive, darkly comic appraisal of Australian youth.

Public Dancing is a sermon on inactivity - a cloud of smoke hovering in front of the TV set. A deft portrayal of group house mentality, unemployment and rave culture. A must see for anyone who has stayed too long at the party.
