They talk, they laugh, it’s awkward, it’s funny. He leaves. Then she does it all over again, and again, for a full 24 hours. None of the 100 different Martys, from across South Australia, have met or rehearsed with her. While it’s true each random man changes the meaning of the scene, it’s what they have in common that
shocks: whether you choose to stay for an hour or a day, the nature of engendered power relationships becomes deeply etched in your mind.
