MKA PRESENTS

Tuesday.

BY LOURIS VAN DE GEER

 

ABOUT THE PLAY

A suburban supermarket. You have been here before. In the car park, mothers are vying for parking spots behind the wheels of their spotless four-wheel drives. Inside, the trolleys are battered, their advertising faded and the last packet of cinnamon was just taken from its carefully alphabetised place in the spice section.

TUESDAY is an intricate satire of suburban banality and social alienation and waits in line for you at the shop. You get left alone. Alone. And you explode.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Louris van de Geer is a talented young writer from Melbourne who works casually as a Council Library Officer, (not a Librarian) a position that requires her not to speak to customers or answer their questions even if she knows the answers. She is currently under commission by St Martins writing ‘Hello there, we’ve been waiting for you” and is the recipient of a City of Melbourne Young Artists Grant.

Writer Louris van de Geer and Director Brienna Macnish first developed Tuesday. as a part of MKA’s development season at the Melbourne Theatre Company VIP Rooms in 2011 and further developed the play as part of Theatre Works’ 2012 ‘In the Works’ Program
