- THE BLAZING SUN

This was the first Every Old Sock Meets an Old Shoe independent theatre production. 

Original dramaturgy by Suzanne Ingleton, with Meg Clancy in the role of Mother in the Performed Play readings season presented by La Mama Theatre, Melbourne 2018, which led to the works inclusion in the 2019 La Mama Explorations Season with Dirk Hoult directing, Verity Higgins in the role of Mother, and Jack Currie as the Son. 

“Lynn Preston has dug deep and gone to dark places in the long gestation of her play.  Working for a time with the very experienced Sue Ingleton, she has made a text that is dense and allusive, filled with vivid images, and strongly suggestive while avoiding banal specifics.  It is remarkable how much story and emotion she packs into her sixty or seventy minutes.”

“…at the climax when the stories collide and interweave, the avoided reality is revealed and anguish seems to erupt on stage, we are wrung out, some in the audience are in tears and we do experience a sort of catharsis (in the original sense).”
