The Platypus

Title: The Platypus
Author: Francis Greenslade
Price: $25.95

Genre-bending, heartstring-snapping, and yet side-splittingly funny, too, The Platypus by Francis Greenslade peers into the lives of a nuclear family ticking closer to an explosion. If the honeymoon stage of a relationship is a whirling romance, a Shakespearean prose declaring undying devotion, then what does a marriage devolve into? When routine dissolves passion, and only performance remains, what genre will our players choose?

SYNOPSIS
Multiple genres, two actors, one black comedy, and possibly a platypus…

The platypus is a strange creature. It’s composed of odds and ends, as though evolution got tired one afternoon and stopped paying attention to what it was doing. It seems wrong, strangely put together, a curiosity — just like this play. This play is about Richard and Jessica. About the messy ending of their relationship and whether they can put the pieces back together.

Written by well-known actor Francis Greenslade (Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell, Winners and Losers), The Platypus is a genre-busting delight — an outrageously clever, wildly entertaining play about theatre, relationships, and the roles we all play inside, and out, of our homes.
