Edward Gant’s Amazing Feats of Lonelines
There’s a new kid on the block in Sydney’s heart of art – this month sees Erskineville’s PACT Theatre host the first production from Sydney’s newest independent theatre company, Polyamorous Productions.
An ambitious start to life sees Polyamorous Productions dive headfirst into a world of alter existence when they debut Edward Gant’s Amazing Feats of Loneliness by Anthony Neilson.
Based on the historic 19th Century entertainer, Edward Gant guides his band of odd-ball actors through his travelling freak show of colourful and bizarre vignettes.
In the world of Edward Gant, nothing is quite what it seems. The lines between reality and fantasy are blurred and you will be sure to question which particular side of the circus tent you’ll find your diverted self on.
If origins as aspiring as this are anything to go by, then PACT Theatre is sure to have an eclectic lifespan. (AH)
May 4–7, 8pm. PACT Centre, 107 Railway Parade, Erskineville. $21.49-$26.62. Tickets & info: edwardgant.com
