Headlock

By David Denborough

18 May 2006 – 03 June 2006 Merlyn Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Kage Physical Theatre,

Theatre Physical Theatre World Premiere Collaboration

A physical theatre work, with some spoken text plus narrative projections and a wrestling-ring set, Headlock explores the tangled relationships between three brothers, one of whom dies in prison. The Merlyn Theatre was used 'end-on', the wrestling ring being at one end, but the performer-audience relationship was intimate and deeply involving.
