REVIEWS
“Hearst’s play is bleakly humorous … Rattray draws very good performances from her cast … Dirtyland gives this laudable initiative [The Spare Room] just the kick-start it needs” Jason Blake, Sydney Morning Herald
“Strong, committed performances … A journey worth taking” Time Out
“A contemporary warning and reminder of our susceptibility to reigns of terror … The performances are energised and utterly compelling” crikey.com
“Complex, brutal, and a times very funny … an ensemble of strength, talent and energy … This dirty land is worth a visit.” OzBabyBoomers
ABOUT THE SHOW
What won’t Anya do to get away from her dirty, dirty land?
There is a burnt patch of grass in the middle of town that won’t grow back.
Half the town is hiding a secret.
The other half is missing.
A dark, adult fairytale. A haunting and subversive examination of the will to survive. Welcome to Dirtyland. Sharp, atmospheric and rebelliously comic, Dirtyland is a world with heart, plenty of guts and a fair bit of rock and roll.
Developed and presented as part of PlayWriting Australia’s National Play Festival 2009.
