Brave New Word is back with another innovative production, Triune. It’s a play that explores the times in life when other possibilities arise.
Sam is a 25-year-old, who worked in finance. He’s lost everything; his job, his house and now his fiancé.
“At this point, his 18-year-old and 33-year-old selves come into the picture. It doesn’t take them long to find out that they can actually change things,” says Luke Holmes, who plays Sam at 18.
“It’s very much a play centred around the idea of the risk involved in trying to change and improve your life,” continues Holmes.
Triune is a collaborative work that was written by the three actors who play Sam.
“I’m one of three writers, working on it myself along with James Culbert and Simon Gleeson,” says Holmes, “James plays the 25-year-old and Simon the 33-year-old.”
“There’s one other character as well, the fiancé Penny, she appears quite a bit through the piece. That part’s being played by Charlie Hanson,” says Holmes.
On director Ava Stangherlin, he says, “She’s fantastic, her way of working is exactly what we were looking for.” (PG)
