I Know Theres A Lot Of Noise Outside But You Have To Close Your Eyes Unspoken Word Is 'Joe', TheI Know Theres A Lot Of Noise Outside But You Have To Close Your Eyes
Synopsis:
Katie and Imogen are BFF's. BFF's 4 EVA. Nothing can tear them apart. Nothing. Nuh. No way. Not vodka raspberry's. Not the yarra river. Not Sportsgirl. Not Feminism. No way. BFF. F and F and F. Two childhood friends with nothing left in common strive to connect. A haunting insight into the bleak underbelly of female friendships, I Know There's A Lot Of Noise Outside But You Have To Close Your Eyes is an explosive exploration of femininity, prejudice and rage. With cocktails. Transforming a grungy Fitzroy sharehouse into an unsettling theatrical wasteland, A Lot Of Noise. . . is tipped to be one of the highlights of this year's Fringe Festival. Performed to a strictly limited audience, this unique work showcases some of Melbourne's most exciting young theatre artists.

Synopsis:
Zoey would describe it as a dramatic play. She would describe it as beautiful. And tender. And sad. And funny. And also really clever, and really honest, and really raw and emotional. Zoey would describe it as a really sad, really beautiful, soul-searching play. About love. And relationships. About life, really. Yeah. Life. It's a really good play.
