A holiday. A time for conversation and distraction, a time to wind down and to dream... 

In a moment of relaxation and quiet reflection, two men unwittingly engage. Spontaneous, unaffected and thrillingly real, innocent discussion becomes an exploration of private fantasy, hidden anxiety, personal mythology and the most inexplicable behaviour.

What lies behind the most unconscious gesture? How do power struggles play out in the politest of exchanges? Is there hope in the blank spaces between strangers?

An extraordinary blend of performance, humour, sound, video installation and baroque song, Holiday is theatre at its most inspirational.

‘Lucid, gentle, funny and unexpectedly moving, it remains one of the shows of the year.’ The Australian

'Holiday is great theatre—funny and light as air on the surface, with philosophical depths that will niggle you long after you leave.' The Age

'... one of the most fascinating productions in recent memory. It's almost like one of those 3D magic eye pictures—a seemingly chaotic, random array of dialogue which suddenly, powerfully gains a depth that is almost shocking in its richness. This is contemporary performance of the highest calibre, wrought with deft skill and tempered with a discerning, unwavering hand.' RealTime Magazine
