| Description |
Twenty-four years have passed since Enter Achilles knocked Adelaide for six. “Audiences put [it] way ahead of anything else as the best the Festival had to offer”, wrote The Australian in 1996 of this funny, disturbing and prescient physical theatre work involving one night in a British pub with eight lads, a stacked jukebox and a skinful of lager.
The ground-breaking original production was made into an Emmy Award-winning film and won accolades the world over. Now legendary auteur and founder of DV8, Albury-born Lloyd Newson, feels the time is ripe for a re-examination. |
