The Poltergeist
by Philip Ridley
Once, he was an artistic prodigy. Now, Sasha drowns in his deteriorating sanity – in one day.
Sasha was destined to take the art world by storm.
At the age of fifteen, pop stars wanted his paintings and a new exhibition was going to make him a rich man.
But now he serves in a stationers and no one’s even heard of him.
What went wrong?
This Australian premiere of Philip Ridley’s masterful play ( 2020 UK ) is about art, family, memory, and being haunted by the life we never lived.
