The Last Time I Saw Richard

Monday, 15 February 2016 to Saturday, 27 February 2016

Richard and April are drawn to each other by desire and the freedom to exist without the baggage of their day-to-day lives. An exquisite new work by Cat Commander produced by five.point.one.

April is smart and direct but directionless. Richard used to be a success. A casual hook-up becomes much more as they discover, to their surprise, that the freedom of their non-relationship allows them to articulate their insecurities and play out their desires. 
Multi-award-winning company five.point.one bring another new Australian show to the 2015 Adelaide Fringe with The Last Time I Saw Richard. Cat Commander writes with precision, humour and heart about intimacy and isolation, our mistakes, fears and desires. Her characters are unsettlingly familiar and accurately drawn.  The Last Time I Saw Richard showcases new Australian writing at its finest.
five.point.one produce quality Australian plays that entertain, enrich and challenge our audience. We have a strong focus on supporting emerging writers and also celebrate and perform the work of more established artists. We have a commitment to giving plays, both local and interstate, their first South Australian season. We believe theatre cannot, and should not, be made in isolation, and therefore we nurture a collaborative environment in the creation of work. We are playwrights, filmmakers, actors and computer programmers and all of these skills influence our approach to collaboration. We have a particular interest in integrating emerging technology into the theatrical form.

4 STARS - "The wonderful five.point.one theatre company has set its audiences quite a thinking challenge with its new work, The Last Time I saw Richard."
Samela Harris - Barefoot Review
This is an excellent Australian work about how the stark realities of life can intervene in the quest to realise dreams
Lesley Reed - Stage Whispers
