Synopsis

"Surface, surface, surface" - Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

Sydney. Summer. In the nightclubs, bars and cafes of the harbour city four young people are searching. But what for? Sex. Love. Friendship. Desire follows the lives of four young adults--Lara, Kate, Gerald and Patrick--caught in a web of interlocking friendships, relationships and romance. A quartet striving for some substance in an image obsessed world. When was the last time you saw a play that explored the way you feel ? Desire is that play. Sex, love or friendship - what do you want?
