GIRL IN TAN BOOTS

GIRL IN TAN BOOTS

“To the girl in tan boots who always gets on at St Leonards, you are my angel of the morning. My daily fix of heaven. Man in grey suit.”

Hannah is 32, slightly overweight and lives in Sydney with her cat, Cupid. Her daily trip to work by packed commuter train has her gripping MX magazine, searching the love messages for a hint that one may be intended for her. When Hannah’s attempts to find a connection through the Sydney dating scene lead to her disappearance, friends and family begin to question whether they may be partly accountable.

This quirky, heartfelt and funny play, written by award-winning playwright Tahli Corin and directed by Susanna Dowling, is a meditation on female invisibility and loneliness, with a distinctly Sydney flair.

“It’s very much a play set in Sydney, it feels absolutely of the city,” says Dowling. “[It’s about] feeling invisible in a city of four million people and about how we all feel invisible at some times.”

“It’s funny, but it’s also bittersweet,” she adds. With the promise of a little magic thrown in too, this play is not to be missed. (KM)
