Product Description:
Music and lyrics by Sean Peter. Starring Abbie Cardwell, Andre Eikmeier, Alexander Jenkins and Lisa Sontag.
Set against the life changing events of September 11 2001, Everything’s Fucked shows how faith, love, and resilience get us through the day and on with our lives, as the world falls down around us. Using a contemporary beat- driven soundtrack, EF presents an instantly recognisable slice of modern life. Jack, Red, Belle and Adam share a house under the flight path in an Australian city somewhere. Jack climbs the corporate beanstalk, while his partner Red is lost in work, faith and life. Belle, half awake, takes sex calls while watching TV, as Adam lives more in his computer than in the real world.
Everything’s Fucked was originally presented as part of the Adelaide Festival Centre’s inspace series. EF has garnered national and international interest even while in its formative stages. Invited to be performed at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, the show has also had excerpts performed at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Melbourne International Arts Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Contains 16 page full colour booklet with complete synopsis and photos.
"This is not for those wanting pretty tunes, vacuous plots and happy endings. It is not just the name that confronts. The script deals with many of the issues that face people in modern society. It could almost be described as an Australian “Rent”, although unlike that production it doesn’t seem to focus on one issue. The music is strong and interesting and certainly gets the message across. Some songs have the potential to haunt after the production is over and all are emotive. Definitely more like a rock opera than a musical....The cast is uniformly strong and each of them engages the audience’s emotions at some stage.....Sean Peter’s music holds it all together and Geoff Crowhurst’s tight direction delivers a thoughtful and thought provoking piece that reflects the issues affecting the younger members of our society..The soundtrack is strong and unforgiving, supporting the actors and painting the scenes...The set deserves a special mention as its multi layers worked well and the combination of audio visual effects enhanced the action in many spots. In all this is something new that deserves a look, but be warned the ending may not be what you expect." - Adelaide Theatre Guide – Fran Edwards
"... an exciting and absorbing new piece of theatre with much to say about the modern condition." - Matt Byrne, The Advertiser
"Composer/writer Sean Peter has created earthy and realistic characters who sing their fears and hearts' desires through evocative songs accompanied by his own driving music. This is an excellent vehicle for a contemporary story of four young battlers trying to cope in a world that seems increasingly hostile. Not everything's f**ked" - David Grybowski db magazine
