Brace yourself for the Australian premiere of a small human story that asks big questions. The Coming World is an intimate piece of theatre - a funny, moving and thought provoking thrill ride about love, loss, guilt and forgiveness.

Set on a New England beach at night, this haunting story follows Dora (Cheree Cassidy) and her relationship with twin brothers, Ed and Ty (both played by Ian Meadows). Featuring the character complexity of a Jonathan Franzen novel, the cinematic structure of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the political microcosmic entanglement of Eugene O'Neill, this enchanting play resonates long after it ends.

Young Pulitzer award winning playwright Christopher Shinn - who casually mentioned to Time Out Chicago in an interview that he spends five days a week in psychoanalysis – catapults us from an analogue world into a digital age, following a desperate quest for love and connection. The play is directed by Caroline Craig – who this year has already appeared in Speaking in Tongues and Pictures of Bright Lights and is set to perform in the upcoming Stainless Steel Rat.
