So Many Splintered Parts

By Elaine Acworth, Shaun Charles, Robert Forster, Kathryn Marquet, Aidan Rowlingson, Sita Walker and Grace Wilson, with songs by Tyrone Noonan

Presented by All Forms Considered and Assembly of Elephants

This is new Queensland theatre writing on the razor’s edge between the political and personal, comedy and despair, rage and hope.

Seven Brisbane writers, one bold provocation: It’s happening all over the damn place, all over the world… the fracturing of everything… nations, ethnicities, races, genders, the environment – into so many splintered parts.

These seven writers have each delivered a poignant and powerful play for two actors, split across times and perspectives.

Joining the actors on stage is Tyrone Noonan (George) weaving songs and sounds inspired by these short plays, set in a place as familiar and strange as our own backyard.

About DOOR 3

DOOR 3 marked the entrance to the Diane Cilento Studio — Queensland Theatre’s up-close and intimate venue whose namesake was a beloved actress and patron of the arts.

After a highly successful pilot program, DOOR 3 will once again become the entry-point for three Queensland-based theatre collectives to stage three bold and blistering independent theatre works in 2025, across three sharp seasons in the Diane Cilento Studio.
