Winning the Verity Bargate Award for New Writing after premiering to critical acclaim last year in London, The One analyses the modern relationship – delving into sex, violence and snack food. Directed by Green Room nominee Tanya Dickson, the text has been re-imagined for Australian audiences with performances from Kasia Kaczmarek (Wentworth), Red Stitch ensemble member Ben Prendergast and Elbow Room’s Emily Tomlins.
