RATE OF DECAY

What Remains When There’s Nothing Left?

By Xanthe Jones

Rate of Decay is an original Australian Gothic play for youth performers, told through a series of haunting vignettes. Spanning from the gold rush to a nuclear apocalypse, it drifts through an orphanage, beauty pageant, police interrogation room, coastal town, a cult leader's table, and other strange and mysterious corners of the country. Each story explores themes of isolation, paranoia, violence, and lingering questions when someone or something is lost. Laced with dark humour, Rate of Decay explores place, time and people as they inhabit the shadows of the Australian psyche, before their stories fade again in this gothic anthology.

This festival, Rate of Decay, will have two showings: 1) a theatre performance with industry professional actors and 2) a play reading with high-school age Young Artists. See details for each showing below.
