Teenage chaos, comedy, and (mis)communication – wrapped neatly into five episodes in the debut project by playwright Maya Marie. Spotlighting the intimate conversations that take place in the corners of a house party, we watch characters shoot and miss miserably as they struggle to surpass the bubble boundaries of selfhood and connect with others.
At a time when boundary setting is now more important than ever – something the ‘snowflake generation’ depicted couldn’t be more aware of – nostalgia meets abjection and everyday disasters spill imperceptibly into danger. Creating 'uncannily accurate' (TheTab.com), 'nostalgic and honest... excruciating and thrilling' (Varsity) drama out of the seemingly most basic of human interactions, Secreting presents an exciting mixture of comedy and drama, prioritising queer narratives, and produced by an all-female production team.
'I found myself either laughing at the accurate absurdity of a character or cringing at their resonance' **** (Varsity)
'This play will make you nostalgic for the chaotic teenage house party you never wished to go to again' ****½ (TheTab.com).
