Two Women & A Chair
AU$30.00 – AU$70.00 ex GST
“…never forget, the whole of the audition is the audition, from the moment you come in to the moment you leave. You’re always being auditioned.” – Jessie
Two actors, Jessie and Martine, arrive at an audition to discover only a bare room with a mysterious black chair. The only instructions on what they should do are contained on the flyer advertising the play, and it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary audition—or is it an audition at all?
Will they obey the cryptic instructions? What of Damian, the director? Is this all a plot to get back at Martine, or is there something more? The answers, as always, lie in the choices Jessie and Martine are about to make.

David Tune –
(a) rollercoaster ride of emotions and interaction between two aspiring actors waiting for an audition…
both players delivered knockout performances…a great example of minimalist theatre at its best.
S. Moore. Theatre ‘S,’ Queensland, Australia –
Two Women & A Chair has come up a treat, audiences are loving it.
Peter Lathan , The British Theatre Guide –
It’s a fascinating piece and its complexity means it stays in your mind long after it has finished.
Kellie McLoughlin-Wilden. CHATS. NSW, Australia –
Two Women & A Chair was a BIG hit with the audiences, in many cases the favourite out of the 3 plays that we presented that night.
Gemma del-Pozzo –
There was never a shred of sentimentality and the variety of responses had me glued from first to last. It was a perfectly balanced tragi-comedy that took a sideways and often scornful look at the world order and the individual´s place within it.
