3xSisters Blind Date Project, The Thyestes3xSisters

A playful and inventive deconstruction of Chekhov's elegiac tale of love, despair and the longing for change, seen through the eyes of three of Melbourne's best young directors: Simon Stone, Mark Winter and Benedict Hardie. Each director has been given a third of the original Three Sisters text, the same cast, the same designers and this challenge: to stamp one of theatre's greatest plays with a bold and original vision.

Synopsis:
Unpredictable, dark and funny, The Blind Date Project is an event to which everyone can relate - a blind date between two people who have never met and who are desperately in need of connection. Australian Film Institute award-winner and TV actress Bojana Novakovic (Rake, Shameless) plays Anna - a woman waiting at a karaoke bar for her date to arrive. That date is a different performer every night. She has no idea who she is about to meet or what is about to happen. Devoid of scripts or rehearsals, this is an entirely improvised, intensely personal interaction - including karaoke numbers - in front of a crowd of willing participants. Guided live via text messages and phone calls by the director, and interspersed with random songs, each date promises to be as bizarre as it is dangerous. No two shows are ever the same. Things may turn out to be humiliating, tender or totally hot.

conceived by Bojana Novakovic and Mark Winter

Top of PageThyestes
If you mess with the Ancient Greeks, beware a little blood. In the charnel house of Greek legend one room is forever reserved for that most ferocious of tales - Thyestes, the deposed king whose sons were slaughtered and served as a feast to their unwitting father. Treating mythological atrocity as contemporary reality, fast-track director Simon Stone retells this Greco-Roman epic as a series of domestic scenes exploring the mundanity of violence. Terrifyingly observed, savagely comic and ultimately heartrending, Thyestes is a modern journey through the darkest of legends.
