AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An original immersive site specific production set across three levels of a real, 165-year-old inner Sydney house. The audience choose where to go and what to see.

'The lives of 14 characters are laid bare in an intimate continuous spectacle. These lives depend upon the decisions of the audience. This is as up-close and personal as theatre gets, where the witness could have played the most important part. Set in a distorted modern urban society these characters are forced to make choices that lead to the ultimate decision... Is all hope lost or will morality prevail?

'‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing’.' (Production summary)
