The Coming World by Christopher Shinn

The Coming World by Christopher Shinn

The Australian premiere production of a small human story that asks big questions.

The Coming World is an intimate piece of theatre – a funny, moving and thought provoking thrill ride about love, loss, guilt and forgiveness. A New England Beach, 2001. Ed waits for his ex-girlfriend Dora. She doesn’t know it yet but Ed owes $10,000 to the wrong people and, despite everything, Dora finds herself dragged into his desperate plan to escape them and begin a new life. With the character complexity of a Jonathan Franzen novel, the cinematic structure of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the political microcosmic entanglement of Eugene O’Neill, this enchanting play resonates long after it ends.

Presented by Two Birds One Stone, Michael Sieders and Darlinghurst Theatre Company
