TAKE A SEAT Takes Chapel Off Chapel

If you thought waiting for a doctor's appointment was bad enough, try waiting to find out how you will spend the rest of your eternity... Take A Seat makes the idea of purgatory a painful and challenging reality for eleven conflictingly familiar strangers.

After a sold out and highly talked about first season at The Butterfly Club, Take A Seat is returning at the end of August to perform a week-long season at Chapel Off Chapel.

Written and directed by British writer and actor Kieran Gould-Dowen, and performed by local Melbourne talent, this original and thought provoking play is set in a courthouse waiting room. The twist? You're dead. With a heavenly amount of heart and a hellish amount of journey, the story explores many dark themes from today's society that each of us can relate to in some way, taking an imperfect picture of the human race.

The two hour long story develops the original one act show into a high-staked and provocative piece. It explores eleven Australian characters from all walks of life, including a Muslim refugee, a self-loathing soldier, an obnoxious money grabber, a dancer with depression, a father and son trying to forgive each other, and even the occasional sociopath. Guided by their bemused, angelic usher, all eleven characters challenge each other on right and wrong, their beliefs, and finding common ground in the only thing they have in common: death and the impending unknown.
