WHAT WE SAW IN THE SORGHUM FIELDS by Tremayne Gordon, co-presented with Tremayne Gordon, was presented at The Ron Hurley Theatre, 7-8 Feb, 2020.
In the late 1980’s, three teenagers went missing on the Darling Downs... this is what they saw...
A local outcast and two sisters find themselves lost in a field of sorghum. Charlie has dropped out of school. Hannah has run away. Lilly wants to see if there is more to life than the humdrum of a country town. On the side of a road in a stolen car, they realise that they're not alone. As a creature calls to them from the crops, they begin to lose their grip on reality. Is what lurks in the dark more confronting than what they've tried to leave behind? A tribute to the 1980s and the scary stories that we used to tell each other before bed. Charlie, Hannah and Lilly are lost but they are not alone.
“On the face of it, a gothic style theatrical piece about three teenagers stranded in the outback, though at a deeper level it explored themes that will resonate through every audience member.” Theatre Haus
“Whilst the playwright and creative team probably had good intentions, this show missed the mark.” Broadway World
