Clare Bartholomew & Daniel Tobias: The Anniversary
You're invited to Jim and Barb's golden wedding anniversary! After 50 years of marriage these Baby Boomers from Balwyn annoy one another so much they literally want to kill each other. Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg is on the TV telling them that the world is on fire and it's all their fault. This dissent into the disappointing abyss of toenail cuttings, stray hairs, sleep apnoea and unfulfilled dreams is layered with precision timing, nonsensical absurdity and deadpan delivery. Multi-award-winning creators of Die Roten Punkte, Clare Bartholomew and Daniel Tobias are back with a brand-new murderously funny physical farce.
