CONFESSIONAL at The Motley Wherehaus

How far would you go for a crush?

A girl stands outside a boy’s house with a boombox. A nun has erotic dreams about God. A teenager follows her crush home across three forms of public transport. 

Structured through sketch-style vignettes and inspired by verbatim confessions, CONFESSIONAL showcases the hilarious and confusing thoughts we have when we lust over someone. It brings to light the doubt in whether we are loving and being loved the right way, or whether we’re still a ‘good person’ when we go to extreme lengths to chase what we want.

'Confessional had me giggling into my hands!' Weekend Notes

'Confessional takes the confessions of real people and weaves them into a witty ensemble piece, complete with likeable and unsympathetic characters, absurdity, and shared humiliation.' The Fourth Wall

'The short scenes transition so seamlessly... it is organisational magic, a must-watch.' Magazine 6000

CONFESSIONAL is written and co-directed by Alice Schlipalius and co-directed, produced and given dramaturgy by Penelope Gordon, in association with Gumboot Theatre Company.
