'A superior piece of work...' Sydney Morning Herald
Polly Stenham's stunning debut is the exploration of an affluent family out of control. Martha has been abandoned by her husband and left to raise her two teenage children alone. But Martha has an addiction to prescription drugs. Henry, her son, has dropped out of school to care for her, and her daughter Mia, is on the verge of expulsion from her expensive private school for drugging a fellow student with Martha's sleeping pills. Their world is turned on its head when their father returns from Hong Kong to fix the 'problem'
A wonderfully dark and comic play that is a roller-coaster ride from start to finish.
That Face will have its South Australian premiere at The Bakehouse Theatre.
