Miles’ life has been reduced to playing goodwill ambassador for her emotionally stunted parents who, despite getting divorced a day shy of their first wedding anniversary, still live together. KETTLEHOUSE is an outrageous comedy of errors about lasting love, broken homes, nosebleeds, and the art of Feng Shui.
Part of the Ricochet Free Reading Series, featuring plays that have yet to be performed in Australia. For the remainder of 2020, this reading series will be performed online.
