''So there’s this family having dinner in a shitty house. And one of them is Xan.’
'A small town in the middle of nowhere. A family is talking about everything and anything except what’s really going on. Through fantasy and hyperrealism, desert, 6:29pm ponders if it’s possible to ever truly know someone you love.'

'In 2020, I conducted a study of five Australian theatre companies that have toured to China over the last decade. This article draws on a study of three of those theatre companies: Windmill Theatre Co., Insite Arts and Red Stitch Actors' Theatre. It examines the development of three productions by the companies and the extent of their adaptation for audiences in China. The case study productions include 'Baba Yaga', a children's play and co-production between Adelaide's Windmill Theatre Co. and Scotland's Imaginate; 'Saltbush', an immersive theatre production from Insite Arts; and 'desert, 6.29pm', a play produced by the Red Stitch Actors' Theatre, who were invited to perform at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival in 2018.'
