The Pride

by Alexi Kaye Cambell

Containing two storylines, each set about 50 years apart (one storyline is set in the repressive 50s, while the other is in a contemporary setting, where anonymous sex is easy to find in a promiscuous world) Kaye Campbell has cleverly devised the structure so that the three principal characters in each time period share the same names and even travel similar journeys, but with different outcomes.

With Ngaire Dawn-Fair, Ben Prendergast, Lyall Brooks & Ben Geuerens

Directed by: Gary Abrahams

“The Pride is sharp, joyous, dark, complex and wonderful and Red Stitch at its best.” – Sunday Herald Sun

“The cast all perform marvelously, capturing the periods, the nuances, the humour and even the tragedy of these characters.” – Australian Stage

Gary Abraham's direction dovetails the two stories effectively, taking advantage of the upstage, smoky, plastic screens to create mystery and depth.- Herald
