November 5 - 10DRAW TWO
Written by Meg Goodfellow
Directed by Lauren Bennett
A WORLD PREMIERE
“Not that it matters but I am deeply terrified of toxic shock because I’m too young to lose a leg or an arm or my vagina.”
Back in her hometown, a woman stands in the ‘fifteen items or less’ line at the local Woolies. There, an old (now-hot) school friend, Kieran, mistakes her as Mia. And she doesn’t correct him.
The thing is, Mia is her identical twin who recently died, leaving behind a son, Lucas.
Everyone has a 20-something crisis. Hers is a choice between staying in Melbourne with an ambitious girlfriend, becoming the legal guardian of a five-year-old, or something entirely different…
If Kieran can’t tell the difference, does it really matter? At the end of the day, where does she end and Mia begin?
Draw Two, is a tender, sharp and funny monologue about mistaken identities, Neapolitan ice cream, sunburnt shoulders, sharks in bathtubs and beating little kids at Uno. It’s also about how we come to terms with loss and sudden motherhood, and what it truly takes to care.
