Stringberg, Churchill and Ignite present a discombobulating dream world that will leave you breathless.

' I dream,  therefore I am.' August Strindberg

A young woman comes from another world to see if life is as difficult as people make it out to be.

A Dream Play is August Strindberg's ground breaking experiment in surrealism rewritten by Caryl Churchill into this spare and stunningly poignant new version.

'Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist.' August Strindberg

'Theatre that 'bores its way into our dreams. Where it belongs.' Herald Sun
