About the play
The basis for the prize-winning film Lantana, this Australian psychological thriller exploring innovative narrative techniques and a new form of blending together different perspectives of reality shows two couple in unstable marriages who inadvertently exchange partners in a night of adulterous encounters. The repercussions for both marriages are profound. Additionally, a psychologist has disappeared on a deserted road after her car broke down. As the play progresses, these two seemingly disparate stories become linked in a chain of coincidences...
