THE CHAIRS

About the show

Fifteen years after collaborating on The Rocky Horror Show, internationally acclaimed powerhouse director Gale Edwards reunites with legendary performers Paul Capsis and iOTA for an unhinged and searing reimagining of Ionesco's absurdist masterpiece. The water is rising. The world outside is crumbling. Alone in a room, a couple sets out chairs ready for the arrival of a special audience, gathering to hear their final message to humanity. A searing and hilarious look at what it means to live a life in the face of it all, echoing the anxiety, turbulence, unexpected humour and outright absurdity of our current moment.
