Finn Hoegh-Guldberg and Penelope Gordon present this comedy drama at Theatre 2. Two overly interconnected share houses go head-to-head in what promises to be an epic, highly anticipated board game showdown. The prize is a miniature trophy and a framed photo of the opposing house on the fridge — trivial on the surface, but simmering beneath are tensions, fierce competitiveness and unresolved conflicts. Six young adults, each with quirks that make them either the perfect teammate or a recipe for disaster, face off as the stakes quietly rise. Running 50 minutes, suitable for ages 14 and over. Contains strong language.
Why see this show?
Sharp ensemble comedy that uses the innocuous frame of a board game night to expose the cracks in a group of friends. The escalation from trivial to deeply personal is handled with real skill by two emerging theatre-makers.
