Wrestling with Catastrophe at Flinders University Drama Centre

Wrestling with Catastrophe is a major ensemble project directed by Gerrard McArthur, marking playwright Howard Barker's 80th birthday. Bringing together student performers and theatre-makers from across the Drama Centre, the project explores the influence of Barker's unique theatrical language through image-making, heightened text and ensemble experimentation. The production also features two-time Tony Award-winning lighting designer Nigel Levings, whose international career provides students with direct exposure to professional theatrical design and collaboration.
