Cathode Ray Tube presents THIRTY THREE

Thirty Three revolves around that morning-after-the-night-before moment of realisation that the truth genie has been let out of the bottle and can’t be stuffed back in. This was not the 33rd birthday Saskia imagined. It’s a night she’ll struggle to remember… yet somehow never forget.

Dolled up in her op-shop birthday frock, the beautiful Saskia opens her cool Newtown terrace to a handful of her closest friends for a low-key dinner party to celebrate her 33rd birthday. But when her estranged little brother Josh shows up out of the blue the night takes a sharp turn for the worse.

Loaded with booze and late-night party supplies, the revelry begins. Add into the mix a couple on the verge of divorce, a gatecrashing narcissistic cokehead and a hyperactive lesbian flower child, and sit back and watch as a friendly evening erupts into a wild night of drinking, game-playing and shocking revelations.

Secrets are spilled, bombshells are dropped, friendships are challenged and sexual tensions reach fever pitch.

Cathode Ray Tube burst onto the Sydney theatre scene last year with sell-out seasons of ‘That Old Chestnut’. Now they return with a raucous, debauched and shattering fresh urban drama about sibling rivalry, grief, marriage, sex and the eternal fight for love and acceptance.
