Theatre503 has announced casting for its upcoming UK premiere production of The Dark Room which will be presented from 8 November to 2 December 2017. The Dark Room takes a sober look at one of the devastating issues of contemporary Australian discourse – the abuse of defenceless children.

A woman. A suicide. A choice. A fly on the wall. A funeral. A Bakewell tart. A life. A lie. A truth. An ending. Of sorts. Alice thinks that life isn’t worth living. So she kills herself. Sort of. She is stuck, a fly on the wall. Forced to watch the aftermath of her suicide and its ripple effect on her family and friends, Alice quickly learns that death changes people. And that death is not the change she hoped for. Milly Thomas said “I’m fascinated by the way we eulogise people once they’ve died.
