Gothic novel ‘Rebecca’ meets ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ in a one-woman psychological thriller
An unnamed woman tells her story of running away with a handsome millionaire starring in a reality TV show. At first, she is swept away by the fantasy. But on his remote cattle station in the Australian outback, she encounters an unsettling undercurrent of violence, gaslighting and complicit bystanders. This atmospheric psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat.
After Rebecca will also be livestreamed on Friday, Oct 11, 7.30pm. Livestream playback will be available for 72 hours after the show.
“…competing amidst a Fringe full of escapist comedy and superficial gratification, Gibson’s writing and Cooper’s performance are much smarter, more stimulating – and so vital.”
“Cooper and Gibson co-direct, and the movement around the stage has intent – and is intense. They know exactly how to build the tension, bring us close, and then release it with a shock”
★★★★★ – Stage Whispers (for After Rebecca, Adelaide Fringe 2024)
Content Warnings: After Rebecca contains discussion of violence against women, coercive control, sexual assault, firearms, death
