Above: Let's Not Meet as performed at Bite Nite: The End is Near by Inês Garcia and Jess Ferrier.
It’s 1982 and late at night in a childhood treehouse, 16-year old’s Martha and Diane listen in to a stolen police radio. With a brutal murder reported five miles away, their radical mothers protesting to walk the streets at night, and their fathers sitting in the house debating their favourite slashers, the girls contemplate violence, the future, and why the world is so against them. As snippets of police reports bleed through radio frequencies, the girls discover their morbid fascination with the horror unfolding so close to home.
The show will be creatively captioned, layering audio/visual.
