B Sharp: The Dark Room

A lonely motel somewhere in the Northern Territory. Deep into the night, six lost souls play out a small, distant tragedy of lovesickness and social breakdown – only it’s not the same night.

The Dark Room is Angela Betzien’s beautifully-formed thriller about the startling idea that, no matter how far apart we are in distance and time, we are all responsible for each other’s lives.

Betzien and director Leticia Cáceres are the founders of Queensland company Real TV . Betzien has a natural understanding of the theatre’s unique ability to tell multiple stories simultaneously – stories of complexity and emotional rawness. Cáceres is a far-reaching thinker about what can be achieved on stage by the simplest means possible.

The Dark Room is a timely reflection on the conflict between what we ask of society and what it asks of us.

The Dark Room was commissioned and first produced by Black Swan State Theatre Company in 2009.
