THIS-THAT Comes to The Butterfly Club

From critically acclaimed New York-turned-Melbournian playwright Kotryna Gesait comes a new comedy about falling in love in unexpected ways.

This is a story about Alice, happily married for 12 years, and 8 months pregnant with her first child. This is also a story about June, a slightly boring math prodigy sleeping with her professor. Both are seemingly content. That was before they met one another.

Taking all the well know rom-com tropes and slamming them on their heads, This-That is a story about two women who find a love that floats somewhere in between friendship and romance, as so many relationships tend to do. Starring Melbourne-based actors Candice Lillian and Kristina Benton, it delves into topics of gender, sexuality and getting older in a world with an ever-shrinking attention span.

Following two successful seasons of her show The Cocoon at Melbourne and Adelaide's Fringe festivals, where she received critical acclaim for her writing and direction, This-That is Kotryna's third Australian debut, presented in conjunction with U Mad? Productions. Lauded as 'someone to keep an eye out for' (TheatrePeople), U Mad? Productions is proud to be partnering with Gesait once again as an artist who is providing 'incisive commentary on the world we live in' (The Plus Ones), whilst showcasing local talent in her works.

This-That opens October 8th and runs for just five nights at the Butterfly Club; don't miss this off-beat, quirky but honest look into a different kind of romance.
