the poltergeist
philip ridley, 2024
Once, he was an artistic prodigy. Now, Sasha drowns in his deteriorating sanity – in one day.
Sasha was destined to take the art world by storm. At the age of fifteen, pop stars wanted his paintings and a new exhibition was going to make him a rich man. But now he serves in a stationers and no one’s even heard of him. What went wrong?
This Australian premiere of Philip Ridley’s masterful play (2020 UK) is about art, family, memory, and being haunted by the life we never lived.
