A fantastical soap opera about fear

“What are you afraid of?”

“Spiders. Car horns. Terrorists. Getting sick again...”

In a suburban lounge room ordinary people watch the news and worry about the world, while in the halls of state powerful people worry about what they look like. The world is trembling and we’re expected to just go on working, playing, spending, dreaming.

“We know something’s fishy.”

“We can smell it.”

Written by the Rollercoaster ensemble and directed by Maude Davey, this all singing, all dancing soap opera of the psyche analyses the anxieties that pervade contemporary life... no matter who you are or how you see yourself.

“It makes me gloom so madly. I am aggressively disappointed."
