"My neighbours leave their at one morning but don't return. Alton and Evie, married 40 years, no kids. I have their spare keys. I cannot resist."
Molly's neighbours haven't come home. The spare keys are in the lock. She's over the threshold. In a house that will never be lived in the same way again, Molly looks under the rock of a marriage, a family, an existence and brings to light what has been left in the dark. The voices of a past echoed in belongings. Items left behind. Extinguished things.
A play that pieces together the story of two lives intertwined, Extinguished Things is a vivid, complex and moving look at what it means to spend your life with someone, and the nature of what you leave behind.
Winner of the Critics Circle Award at the Adelaide Fringe 2019.
