Travel through generations of women's stories in this powerful theatrical work set within a fictional Darlinghurst hotel room.
Blending history, drama and humour, Crazing follows a contemporary woman whose experience becomes intertwined with those who came before her. Through compelling storytelling and memorable characters, the performance explores resilience, identity and the enduring impact of women who challenged expectations and helped shape Australian society.
Artist statement
Four women. One hotel room. Decades apart.
Each arrives searching for refuge. Each discovers leaving comes at a cost.
Women have been checking into this Darlinghurst hotel room for generations, searching for refuge from a world that wasn't built for them.
When ambitious project manager Aila Driscoll arrives to oversee the building's demolition, a crippling endometriosis flare traps her inside the very room she's been sent to erase. As her wife goes into labour, Aila comes face to face with the women who sought refuge there before her.
From pioneering politician Mary Moore-Bentley and society rebel Molly Fink to fearless sex worker activist Angie Sage, Crazing uncovers the hidden fractures in Australia's history through the lives of women who changed it. Funny, haunting and historically grounded, this acclaimed one-woman play blends ghost story with Australian history to ask a timely question: after more than a century of women fighting to be heard, how much has really changed?
