The future is hers if she can survive the present.
In a small-town supermarket deli, two nameless women — Young One and Old One — slice meat while cutting each other down. One clings to the old rules, the other longs for more. Beneath the fluorescent lights and refrigerator hum, their everyday tasks unravel into a battle of wit, will, and survival.
Darkly comic and unsettling, Stuck is a razor-sharp portrait of power and control. Blending absurdism, biting humour and raw honesty, it takes aim at misogyny, patriarchy and the systems that keep women down.
Written by Megan Twycross (Erin Thomas Regional Playwrights Fund recipient), Stuck unites some of Australia’s most dynamic theatre-makers: director Susie Dee (Creative Australia Award for Theatre) with actors Caroline Lee and Eva Seymour.
Brutal, witty and unflinching. Stuck leaves its mark.
La Mama, Australia’s most iconic intimate theatre, was founded in 1967 by Betty Burstall returning from the coffee-house theatre scene in New York City. Nowadays the coffee and biscuits are still free, you can still chat with the artists after the show, and the famous La Mama raffle still thrills.
You simply cannot leave Melbourne without having seen a show at its beloved La Mama Theatre.
