Concrete Playground

It's closing time at the pub and a party mix of bright young things carouse on to their next destination. In the time-travelling tradition of Proust, these sixteen Gen Ys will each tell their story to the audience over the scant 100 metres it takes to reach the next street corner. All are fuelled by their unique desires and surface concerns, and yet there is something that connects these people together beyond friendship.

Their words come out from the same mouth.

Tim Spencer brings his award-winning solo show back to Sydney for a single week of performances as part of the ATYP Under the Wharf program. Drawing on both his skill with words and a love of vaudeville, Spencer performs with an energy that is as unrelenting as it is fragile, wooing his audience into a world of fairy lights and tender tragedies.
