The Deplorables
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY CHRISTINE DAVEY
If they’re playing cricket, who is making the sandwiches?
Written by Christine Davey and presented by award-winning regional theatre company – Skin of our Teeth Productions – this joyous production explores the first women’s cricket match in the country and what it means for all of us.
A sharp, funny, and deeply human new work, THE DEPLORABLES turns the spotlight onto quiet rebellions, everyday courage, and the unexpected power of women who decide enough is enough.
Blending physical theatre, striking choral movement, this is a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the extremely ordinary men who tried to stop them.
The Deplorables was developed with the support of Australian Plays Transform.
Feedback/Comments
Interesting facts, good acting, great experience
Interesting but little known historical event, well researched and innovative and entertainingly presented
This show had it all - the performers sang, danced, one did the splits ! They educated the audience in an entertaining way. And I feel this story is very timely.
An interesting story! As someone who is not from Australia, this play was cleverly written, and used comedy to recreate history on the stage, as well as give an insight into thoughts and feelings of a rural community fighting for change. The Aussie spirit was brought to the stage in an entertaining and enjoyable way!
