Mad Max’s Play

Many of you know Max as the activities guy, the funny man, the table tennis champion, the bike man, the BBQ guy… Did you also know that Max is a thespian (adj. actor)?

“ON SHIFTING SANDSHOES” 

                                       A Comedy about Surviving the Great Australian holiday
 
 

On Shifting Sandshoes follows a group of friends as they try and survive a few days trapped on a camping trip due to cyclonic conditions.
‘This is the pre-mobile phone era. Being cut off was a bit more serious! It puts the relationships under stress, and the play turns from light comedy to dark comedy. When you are camping your existence is more fragile – the weather is like another character.’” (Byron Shire Echo 14 July 2009).

Who are Australians?
What do they really stand for?
How come they’re so obsessed with sports?
How rocky are many of their “committed relationships”?   And…
Why do so many love to go camping every summer in places where they know
some kind of natural disaster is almost certain to occur?
 

 If you would like to know the answers to these questions see Max in his amazingly Australian play, ask him about tickets and a student discount.
