Don’t Look Away, in collaboration with Red Line Productions, is bringing vintage Australian genius to the stage. Inner Voices, the complex and viscerally arresting work penned by Louis Nowra is set to once again plunge into the psyche of man.

Nowra came to the fore as a playwright through the unapologetic and powerful tones and twists of Inner Voices. Unafraid of tackling issues that ordinarily make people squirm and avert their eyes, Nowra created a piece that grapples with the agonies of isolation and the exercise of power.

It tells the story of Ivan, the son of Catherine the Great, at the mercy of men whose ignorance is only matched by the brevity of their ambition. Set upon the throne of Russian knowing naught but his name, Inner Voices is a savage undertaking into a young man’s mind and turmoil.

Inner Voices will be at the Old Fitz Theatre running from Wednesday June 15 until Saturday July 9.
