'Born from the strange socio-political moment we’re living in, VERY NICE POT PLANTS TO PURIFY THE AIR AND ENRICH YOUR LIFE (henceforth referred to as POT PLANTS) is an absurd, psychedelic comedy about connection and interdependence. Join a few humans and many living pot plants on a wild ride back in time to the days of disco, free love and booty shorts. Here you’ll meet Anne, a scientist trying to prove plants can talk. With lots of big hair and irreverent dance numbers, you won’t want to miss this new Australian work from emerging, already award-winning makers.'

Notes

Author's note: We wanted to make a work that reflected the uncanniness of most of this year. That proved to be quite depressing so we made a show about disco and pot plants. – Karla Livingstone-Pardy (via Theatre Works website).
