This is a rare opportunity to see a professional reading of one of the truly great Australian plays of the 1980’s. The Kid is set in a blazing Australian summer. Snake Aspro, and Dean are on a quest to Valhalla in a stolen car. On the way, they pick up a teenage opera fanatic, Donald and then they meet Desiree. Sparks fly. Sydney is ringed by fire and twilight approaches. The omnipresence of Wagner’s Ring of the Niebelung looms large.
Featuring a cast of Melbourne’s finest emerging actors this promises to be an unforgettable new look at an Australian theatre classic.
