ABOUT THE SHOW

Long walks on the beach can have their dark side.

A tour-de-force two-hander starring Sheridan Harbridge of Season 2023’s sell-out Prima Facie and Jing-Xuan Chan (SBS's The Family Law), Meet Me at Dawn is the dramatic collision of love story and philosophical thriller. Riddled with mysteries and surprises, it conjures a strange, otherworldly space while capturing essential truths about the human condition with stark clarity.

When Robyn and Helen find themselves shipwrecked on a strange shore, their struggle to find a way back home will test their bond to breaking point.

Over the last decade Scottish playwright Zinnie Harris has emerged as one of the most exhilarating new voices in theatre. Meet Me at Dawn races between moments of tenderness, panic, fierce determination and high hilarity. It’s a crystalline example of Harris’s unique ability to tap into deep veins of emotion with the softest of touches.

Like a message in a bottle from a parallel dimension, this romance strums the heartstrings while shifting your perspective on reality.
