| Summary |
A group of more or less ordinary Sydneysiders go about their lives: Anna makes toast, Henry dresses for work, Milla catches the train to school, Moses deals drugs - that kind of thing. But hovering above this unholy parade of life is the sobering fact that Milla will be dead before her 15th birthday. But wait...this is a comedy. Rita Kalnejais has corralled an unlikely collective of characters - a grieving mum, a junkie, a girl dying of cancer, an eight-year-old Vietnamese violin prodigy, and a Latvian immigrant among them - to realise an extraordinary play about life, death, grace and gratitude. Babyteeth lays down the landscape of mundanity, and lets us see within it the violent sweetness of life |
