‘Business Unfinished – part of PACT’s 2014 Vacant Room Season, is an interwoven collection of performed, pre-recorded, verbatim audio interviews conducted with Inner West residents who have experienced a range of paranormal phenomena. It is an exploration into the domestic spectacle, lip-sync and unexplained phenomena that may or may not be explainable but most definitely cannot be ignored.’

Vacant Room offers three interdisciplinary artists/groups a month long residency at PACT providing these artists with an opportunity to develop an idea or project with artistic mentoring, guidance and space. Vacant Room is about artistic process, giving an idea space to germinate, new possibilities and opening up new avenues of practice. These artists will have the input of specialist mentors and engage in weekly peer conversation and professional exchange. Three groups will share the space in 2014 between Sunday 27 July – Saturday 23 August 2014. An opportunity for discourse and feedback, the creative development period will culminate in a showing for an invited audience.

“Shocking and shockingly funny… Glitters with exceptionally clever comic writing.” The Times

“Comedy doesn’t come much blacker or better than this.” The Guardian

Ralph and his wife Sarah invite Edith and Bastian to their home for an evening of mind-games and manipulation. Things take a dark turn when Ralph jokingly mentions that he and Sarah have killed their co-worker, Mr Kolpert.

A large chest rests in the middle of the room. What happens from here is not normal, as the couples travel further and further down an absurd path of violence, delusion and insanity itself. As the characters push the boundary of jokes and reality, they are forced to ask themselves the difficult question: “How far would you go to feel alive?”

Pantsguys are back at ATYP following their hugely successful seasons of Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things (2011) and Punk Rock by Simon Stephens (2012). Punk Rock won three 2012 Sydney Theatre Awards, including Best Independent Production. Don’t miss this one.

Starring Paige Gardiner, Garth Holcombe, Edan Lacey, Claire Lovering, Tom Christophersen, Tim Reuben.
