THE TWINS
THE TWINS, a new Australian play starring Greg Fleet and Ian Darling, will have its world premiere season at The Studio, Holden Street Theatres for the 2021 Adelaide Fringe.
THE TWINS sees two old school friends, Greg and Ian, re-uniting 40 years after playing the twins in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, to rework it as a two-hander. A heart breaking and hilarious new play about trust; remembering and forgetting to remember; loss; regret; love; pain and glory.
Written by Greg Fleet, Ian Darling, Sarah Butler and directed by Sarah Butler and Terry Serio, THE TWINS is Produced by Shark Island Institute and The ArtsLab Kangaroo Valley (NSW). THE TWINS is one of only a handful of interstate productions crossing the border to take part in Adelaide Fringe.
The show has been coined ‘theatre verite’ because the characters are real people, played by themselves.
Note: RRP listed is for a double pass
Feedback/Comments
Excellent theatre, very challenging and calls for a real mental effort from the audience. My mind is still processing a number of the issues raised!
This play has alot to offer on a number of levels. I thought this was really well written, I really got a sense of the longevity of a friendship between two very different individuals. I hope to see Greg and Ian in more acting roles as they are more then a comedian and film maker. An added bonus which got my attention was reference to the Birthday Party ,and music I grew up with including Nick Cave ( who fought his drug demons ) was a great addition to the play. I would recommend this play
Interesting play that encourages reflection on people’s lives and the differences between how we see ourself compared with how others perceive us.
What an amazing show! It covers so much ground in only 90 minutes. A bit funny and a bit sad, brutally honest and thought provoking. About labels, following your dreams and feeling old. Very clever writing.
