FEVER reunites the team that created the multi award-winning Whoís Afraid of the Working Class? ? writers Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelius, Melissa Reeves and Christos Tsiolkas, composer Irine Vela and director Julian Meyrick. Produced by Melbourne Workers Theatre in 1998, Whoís Afraid of the Working Class? toured nationally the following year and won numerous awards, including the Gold Awgie, the Jill Blewitt Award, a Victorian Green Room Award and the Queensland Premierís Literary Award. FEVER is about the way humanity consumes that which nutures it. Set against a landscape marked by a sense of turmoil and deprivation, the connecting image in FEVER's 4 plays is the river as a line of demarcation that separates people; as a body of water that must be crossed to reach the promise of the other side; as a means of escape from turmoil and delivery to what is unknown. It is a stinking rotten sewer poisoning all who take from it and the source of renewal and change. Written by Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelious, Melissa Reeves , Christos Tsiolkas. Directed By Julian Meyrick Performed by David Adamson, Rodney Afif, Tony Briggs, Daniela Farinacci, Eugenia Fragos, LeRoy Parsons & Pauline Whyman Melbourne Workers Theatre - Creating provocative and inspiring new works which celebrate class consciousness, cultural diversity and engage the social and political complexities that shape our lives.
