SANDWICHES

Billy and Paula have lost their mother. And now they’re lost too. Part Hansel and Gretel, part Alice in Wonderland, part Lynchian nightmare, Sandwiches takes you along the garden path, into the undergrowth, down the rabbit hole, to the strange, dark, and silly world of grief and siblinghood.

Written by Nicholas Coghlan and Elise Hearst
Directed by Ming-Zhu Hii
Performed by Lauren Urquhart and Terry Yeboah
Sound Design by Russell Goldsmith

“SANDWICHES is a thoughtful and well-crafted show that brings a small audience into intimate contact with performers telling stories of half- remembered childhood.” - “This is sophisticated writing by Nicholas Coghlan and Elise Hearst, brought to life with nuanced acting.” - “Director Ming-Zhu Hii shows a deft touch at bringing out emotion and scene from the text, and the design detail adds layers and depth to the ideas.” Martin Ball - The Age

"There is much to recommend the first production by The Melbourne Town Players. SANDWICHES is compellingly performed... the script by Elise Hearst and Nicholas Coghlan is evocative and lyrical... Terry Yeboah and Lauren Urquhart are engaging and playful... Ming-Zhu Hii directs them imaginatively." Kate Herbert - Herald Sun

“Every aspect of this work is well referenced and considered… Hii’s set and installation design is both inventive and witty.” - “This work… has lingering qualities which impress on the viewer after [it unfolds].” - “TMTP has certainly raised the bar high with its inaugural production, which possesses an abundance of creative flair and all round vision of its collaborators.” Anna Lozynski - Australian Stage Online

"Delicate and precise theatremaking from start to finish." Carl Nilsson-Polias - Spark Online
