100 REASONS FOR WAR

Adelaide College of the Arts Acting, Technical Production and Design Students present 100 Reasons for War by Tom Holloway by the third year graduating Actors from the Adelaide Colledge of the Arts. Directed by Anthony Nicola.

Grandly ambitious, 100 Reasons for War is Tom Holloway’s funny, angry and provocative exploration of Australia’s relationship to war. This is no battlefield-drama or period piece. Holloway’s war is played out in the here and now, in kitchens and classrooms, boardrooms and bars. A big play about big things: the Big Bang, the power of words, technology and social media, Edward Bernays, Anna Freud and Bill Clinton, gender, identity, sports-rage, phone-rage and queue-rage, evolution, faith and chimpanzees. “Why? Why so much anger? Why so much war?”
