Geelong Repertory Theatre Company promises a unique experience for theatre-goers with a three-in-one play coming to Geelong West this week.

North Geelong’s Peter Jukes directs the one-act plays, which he says are a rarity for the company.
“They’re all comedies but they’ve all got a dark side, which I like.“

In their predicament they make some disturbing and surprising revelations about themselves … could this lead to something more than just a brief encounter?
Claudia Clark and Geoff Gaskill bring these two oddball characters to life.
In Merge – by Neil LaBute – a young American couple is driving home from the airport after the woman has returned from a conference interstate.
The conversation is tortuously winding; what isn’t being said takes on more and more importance as the journey progresses … what will be revealed before the trip is over?
Georgia Chara and Simon Finch give darkly powerful performances in this psychological mind-bender, promoters say.
Looking for a Place to Land, by award-winning Australian writer Michael Lill, won Rep’s Write Stuff playwriting competition in 2015.
Gaskill plays William, who can’t accept the death of his wife Sylvia (Claudia Clark) and keeps her alive in his imagination.
