The Lost Girl
An outdoor adventure in the days of silent movies and slapstick. When a young girl is banished to the bush by her wicked uncle, there’s only one thing she can do – fight back! Cheer our feisty heroine as she escapes through the trees. Gasp at our hero, tied to a bench in the path of a circular saw’s spinning blade.
The Lost Girl brings to life the age of mechanical wonders – steam engines, gramophones and silent movies – with slapstick humour and dramatic storytelling. Inspired by Frederick McCubbin’s Lost and the movies of Buster Keaton, it’s an inventive and physical play about art, imagination, the olden days and the Australian bush.
