ALISON GOES TO ALDI FOR HER AUNT - 2022 MELBOURNE FRINGE
A surreal new play spiked with horror, humour, and a range of deals on discount groceries
“What are my symptoms? Aches and pains. A general sense of unease. Despair.”
Alison is feeling sick. She’s sick of working at ALDI, with its harsh fluorescent lights and overbearing managers. She’s sick of her Aunt, with her strange and slightly terrifying demands. She’s sick of doing anything at all, really. But the more she tries to fight the system, the more she seems drawn into the surreal and all-encompassing clutches of ALDI...
'Alison Goes to ALDI for Her Aunt' is a bold and ambitious new work by VCA playwriting graduate Fred Pryce. Exploring issues like mental illness and our broken unemployment system with both humour and horror, this play will immerse you in the uniquely bent world inside Alison’s head.
Alison was doomed from the beginning... Good acting with a minimal set!
