Don’t Say the Words

LIVEnotes study guide available for senior students.

Little by little, what is said and what remains unsaid peels away to reveal a startling truth.

“The wheels in the gravel driveway. The door. Him coming home. I was waiting because I hadn’t seen him in a long time. I hadn’t been alone with him in so long…”

From one of Australia’s most exciting young playwrights, comes an ‘epic-in-miniature’, inspired by Aeschylus’ Agamemnon.

After a decade under siege – a city has finally fallen. But ten years of fury have taken their toll. For an officer returning from this epic campaign, it is time to put the horrors of war behind him, and take back his place at the family table. For the officer’s wife, it is time to begin again.

The future is set. The real battle for hearts and minds must start now.

With a cast including Jack Finsterer, Anna Lise Phillips and Brett Stiller, director Matthew Lutton (Tartuffe, The Lady Aoi) brings his unique theatrical imagination to bear on this breathtaking new work.

This production includes frequent strong language and violent and sexual concepts and is not recommended for children under the age of 16.
