Woolf
In development · Bravo Arts
Written by Patrick Livesey.
Co-Created and Co-Directed by Christian Cavallo & Dan Graham.
‘Woolf’ is a queer adaptation, inspired by Edward Albee’s ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’. The play explores contemporary queer relationships, domestic abuse, difficulty around creating a family, and infidelity as experienced by a middle-aged gay couple. They host an unwitting younger couple as guests and draw them into their bitter and abusive relationship.
In subverting this iconic heteronormative narrative to include a cast of queer identifying characters, it is our aim to examine how Albee’s original themes manifest across queer relationships.
This play is an original interstate collaboration from Christian Cavallo, Dan Graham and Patrick Livesey.
The play runs for 90 minutes and features a cast of four.
Woolf recently won the inaugural QPAS FAST TRACK AWARD. The award supports the show through a clear pathway to performance in conjunction with Gasworks Arts Park and Midsumma Festival.
Woolf is still in writing and development stages. It currently requires refinement of the adapted script through continued collaboration.
