| Description |
Based on Anderson's own peripatetic childhood growing up in Tasmania and Victoria, Anderson's self-devised show I Don't Wanna Play House is a kinetic swirl of monologue, movement and song. A whirlwind of family yarns, harrowing recollections and hilarious energetic impersonations of family members - often heartbreaking, as Anderson relives the abuse she and her family endured, this is also a story of love, told with a singular lack of sentiment and wry humour. |
