Description

Presented by: Playlab Theatre in association with Brisbane Powerhouse

by Seán Dowling, Ian Lawson, and Merlynn Tong.

Its the final night of Lilly’s “free pass” from her marriage when, in a hotel bar, she meets Francis, a trans woman who’s tired of men wanting to test their queerness. Their connection moves fast, and defences come down, leaving them exposed to the worst of each other.

Serene and Jade are past lovers who promised to meet again in this hotel room if they’re single in 5 years. Sparks fly the moment they lay eyes on each other. However, as truths unravel, desires are undermined by lies they’ve told themselves.

In a hotel room, Jo is waiting alone. Mik is late. When he eventually turns up, this Grindr hook-up veers off-script as they struggle to connect. Facades crack, and maladaptive base instincts come to their defence.

Wild Abandon is a bold, sensual, multi-narrative drama that interrogates patterns we are nurtured into, in which every character is challenged to find love for themselves as they desperately seek it in another.

Suitable for ages 18+
Warnings: Adult Themes, Coarse Language, Partial Nudity, Sexual References, Simulated Violence

Brisbane Powerhouse is Queensland’s home for contemporary culture, a magnificent power station of the 1920s reborn as an arts centre on the Brisbane River.

 

As Brisbane City Council’s premier arts venue, the much-loved building stages more than 1250 performances a year including a program of festivals, as well as hundreds of events and functions from weddings to conferences, all the while housing heritage-listed graffiti, riverside bars and restaurants, visual arts exhibitions and of course the stories of all who have ventured, laughed and shared memories within its living walls.
