Reviews
This is a raw and involving piece of theatre. Played in a simple and effective sandbox, the acting is fierce and focused. Any tendency towards generic death-cell grimness is held in check by a live score (a mix of sound effects and improvised percussion – played by Josh Green) that echoes the use of Balinese shadow puppetry, 7/10 Jason Blake, Sydney Morning Herald
Bondi Dreaming is one of the best shows i have seen in years, Sam Atwells’s haunting script…dreams harden into reality. The set design of sand, wire and mock brick is a masterpiece of evocative minimalism. The relationship between the three men is surpisingly tender, highly nuanced and often confronting
