Hurstville City Council’s Discovery Festival of Community Arts
in association with
Australian Macedonian Theatre of Sydney, proudly presents:
THE FENCE
Written by Dushan Ristevski
Directed by Stefo Nantsou
“THE FENCE” is a
comedy tinged with deep emotion about ‘Team Australia’.
Set in the southern Sydney
suburb of Arncliffe, an old wooden fence separates three households; a Lebanese
family, a Macedonian family and an elderly ‘true blue Aussie’. They have lived
in harmony for many years, but recent current affairs alter their views of each
other. Jokes turn nasty, arguments begin, trust gives way to suspicion and when
‘Dazza’ the dog goes missing, a chain of farcical events threatens to shatter
their peaceful co-existence. Something’s got to give...and it ends up being the
fence.
