In a regional Australian town, a conservative accountant father and his attractive bisexual son will soon find out that they have been chasing the same thing: the love of Dick.

When Dick, a larger-than-life transwoman, moves into town, the already strained relationship between father and son takes an even more dramatic turn. As they get to know more about Dick, they start to question everything they think they know about themselves, each other, and the world.

“You're in love with the idea of me.

I am just some girl.

I am not all that.” – Dick

REVIEWS
"...three main aspects set this production apart. First, the script, written by Carnay and Aleks Vujicic, is sharp, economical, unashamed, direct and often humorous. Second, the understated direction by James Lau and Carnay lets the audience focus solely on the characters. Third, and perhaps most importantly, the trio of Carnay, Visentin and Walsh give nothing less than inspired performances. The chemistry between them is formidable – the expression ‘powerhouse performance’ has become somewhat of a cliché, but the emotional nuances, character and power these actors give to their roles is something to behold. Whether or not this play’s topic matter is something that you’d usually be interested in, if you’re wanting to see some independent theatre with three mesmerisingly accomplished actors each giving little less than a performance masterclass, Chasing Dick would be hard to top this year." - Ash Brom, Arts Hub

“Carnay is not afraid of the fraught social topics surrounding gender expression, however she is much more concerned with the human beings who sit underneath all of that fear and confusion.” — WHATDIDSHETHINK.COM

“It's not often you go to the theatre and watch a play that you'd be happy if it were longer! But that happened today. Dax Carnay-Hanrahan has created a show with three characters who are flawed and yet charming, and whom one is happy to spend time with.” - Robert Jarman
