Roulette (Borneo +3) by Raimondo Cortese

Directed by Tony Nikolakopoulos, this May 2023 production was a VCA 3rd Year actors and designers show.

Exploring near-cinematic naturalism on an abstracted set, the production centred on chance meetings between strangers and the lies and revelations that precipitate from near-anonymity. The plays (Borneo, Petroleum, Legacy, Night) were pulled from Raimondo Cortese’s short play series Roulette.
