Scorched Earth – Luke Murphy / Attic Projects
A murder. An interrogation. A clouded world of fantasy and fear.
Venue: Powerhouse Theatre, Brisbane Powerhouse
Dates: 17–20 September
As Ireland marks a century of independence, the ghosts of history still linger. Development and progress increasingly mean concrete, borders and built structures — yet the land beneath us continues to hold a gravitational pull.
What right do we have to it?
What would we do to keep it?
Parochialism, fear of the outsider and questions of ownership sit at the centre of a society wrestling with housing, opportunity and identity. Inspired by John B. Keane's The Field, Scorched Earth follows a detective reopening a cold case twelve years on. As the story unravels, old wounds resurface and The Detective and The Suspect slip into a world of memory, fantasy, guilt and resentment.
