Join ANU(Nuts) for their season of Alistair McDowell’s play ‘Pomona’ at the Ralph Wilson Theatre!
‘I think I’d sleep a lot easier if I knew none of us would wake up tomorrow.’
There’s a secret place right inside the concrete heart of the city. Nobody knows what’s in there, it’s like a place that time forgot. But every day a delivery van arrives and departs.
Ollie’s sister is missing.
Searching Manchester in desperation, she finds all roads lead to Pomona. Here at the centre of everything, journeys end and nightmares are born. What’s going on in there? Do you really want to know? Or do you simply have no choice?
An urban nightmare and a sci-fi thriller. Pomona explores a city gone wrong, in a nonlinear timeline that leaves the audience to piece it all together, this play is jarring and confusing. But even when society has reached its worst, there’s still hope, human connection can persevere even in a city rife with contradictions. With DnD games, nightly stakeouts, a Gameboy, and an unfortunate 100 chicken nuggets – Pomona is a trip into the absurd and unlike anything seen before.
Pomona is written by Alistair McDowell, directed by Teagan Matthews and presented by ANU National University Theatre Society (NUTS).
