Dacha's 2019-2020 Season was produced with support from Arts WA.
Dice: Pride & Prejudice
an original adaptation of Jane Austen's novel directed by Nick O'Leary (November 22 - December 9) In this original theatrical feat, a small ensemble of actors memorize the entire script of a classic play. On the night of the show, the audience rolls dice to determine who plays who, and the show goes up. This year, we apply our most audacious format to a different kind of classic as we Dice an original adaptation of Jane Austen’s masterpiece, Pride & Prejudice. The Moors
by Jen Silverman directed by Mike Lion produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson (February 20th - March 7th) Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility. |
Ghost Party: Remastered
directed by Nathan Whitehouse (October-November) A remount of Dacha’s smash-hit original immersive production: You live, you die, you move on – that's how it's supposed to go. But when an unlucky subset of the dead have been reliving the same ill-fated party over and over for decades, it's up to you to try to find a way to change their fates. Sorry I Missed You
a staged reading of a new play by Ryan Long (December 13th - 15th) Sorry I Missed You is a web of interconnected narratives told through 1980s-style answering machine messages, featuring love, mistaken identity, many missed connections, and a cat. |
Dust
a world premiere by Danielle Mohlman directed by Kate Drummond (May 8th - 24th) Wrestling with the reality that everyone he's ever known was just killed in a shooting at his school, Boy spends his last minutes spinning a story that looks not unlike J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. These young women, these mermaids, compete to be heard as their story unfolds. They are the swim team – powerful and sometimes monstrous. Part dance, part theatre, Dust plays like a music score that’s been infiltrated by poetry, giving voice to the unspeakable. (F)unfair
a devised, immersive carnival in collaboration with Playable Theatre Project (July 24th - August 9th) Set in a surreal dysfunctional carnival, (F)unfair is an interactive experience that explores income inequality and systemic injustice through individual stories. Participants explore a carnival: playing games, riding rides, meeting characters, and engaging with a voting system that changes both the world and the stories of its inhabitants. |
