Anaconda

Synopsis:
anaconda draws on a 12-year-old Sydney private school scandal for this hard-hitting drama. Stripping away the sensational aspects of the case, the play explores bullying and sexual abuse among peers, exposing the long-term trauma that besets the abusers, victims and the guilt-by-association of the witnesses. When successful defense attorney Matty learns that an old school friend Phil has committed the violent murder of another former classmate, Matty feels obligated to defend the killer. His mean-girl wife Bivva, however, argues a different tack. If you had everything you ever wanted, would you risk it all to be forgiven?
