Ruby Bruise Ruby BruisedRuby Bruise
Synopsis:
Ruby Bruise is magic, superheroic, invincible: she can read others' thoughts, outrun her own reflection and see through walls. a lush landscape of madness, laughter, revelation, heartache and body fluids, this new work by The Misery Children examines one woman examining herself. Sometimes, when there are no bruises to show your life's journey, you make your own. 'Written with shades of dark and light, Kruckemeyer explores into a deeper darkness than your children's stories aught, as in the dark the pains and heartaches of Ruby's life are lain out before us. But in the light, if you look around at the faces of your fellow audience members, you look into the faces of pure unadulterated joy'. Australian Stage Online
