In its Australian debut, THREE THE HARD WAY (1992) is an undiscovered gem of feminist theatre.
It masterfully and wryly explores impacts of childhood trauma; grief and loss on a family system; gambling addiction; and isolation, especially among older women.
Free Range Theatre was drawn to the playwright, Linda Eisenstein, an activist and feminist, who states, “women’s issues, our problems out in the world, our tangled connections, our inner yearnings: those are of most immediate interest to me”.
This hilarious and touching performance is not to be missed.
THREE THE HARD WAY
By Linda Eisenstein
Directed by Romney Hamilton
Set in a motel in Reno, THREE THE HARD WAY is a comedy drama that brings together three sisters, Kathleen, Irene and Mary after the sudden death of their colourful gambler father, Albert.
Separated by geography and a challenging family history, the sisters go through what little is left of their father’s life and try to make sense of their past and their relationships with the meddling ghost of Albert looking on.
With Pattara Bamroongpruk, Sam Goldrick, Alice Russo and David Thomas
