Flat Pack is the emotional story of a daughter having to pack up her father’s life as his dementia worsens. A story that asks at what point do we become our parents’ parents? The nostalgia, the guilt, the happy memories, and a piece of found furniture are what await audiences in this theatre drama.
A very exciting first for The Art House, Flat Pack has been fully supported through their Art House Creatives program and is their first produced work from concept, through development and onto the stage.
The work is written, developed, and performed by local artist Danielle Brame Whiting in collaboration with award-winning playwright and director Vanessa Bates, and multi-talented actress and movement director Angie Diaz.
“It’s so exciting to have my work produced by The Art House, Wyong, and to be able to share the premiere of ‘Flat Pack’ in the venue where my idea first found its support. The staff of The Art House are genuine flag bearers for the support and development of local artists, and I feel proud that my work is able to represent them.” said creator, Danielle Brame Whiting.
The Art House has produced a new and engaging one-woman show that will both delight and tug at the heartstrings as audiences follow Debbie undertaking the task of packing up a lifetime of memories on her own.
Flat Pack is the pioneer production paving the future for The Art House as it seeks to cement its name among other great theatre producers such as Belvoir Street Theatre, and Hayes Theatre Co.
Witness this beautiful first production, created by extremely talented artists from the Central Coast as it makes its world premiere in The Art House studio.
“A tender and dynamically delivered deconstruction of the joy, grief, and revelation that accompanies intergenerational transformation.” – Luke Carmen
