WINDOW, CRICKET BAT



Some objects possess mysterious powers. They can take us back in time. They can remind us of someone. They can make us emotional. 

Objects imply drama. When you hear the words 'window' and 'cricket bat', what do you think of? Especially if that window is stained-glass and the cricket bat is Harold Pinter's?

A unique collaboration with Griffin Theatre Company, the Australian Design Centre's Happy Objects exhibition is a celebration of the things that are often imperfect, but always deeply symbolic of the lives we lead. A centrepiece of the exhibition, Window, Cricket Bat is a short chamber performance for a solo actor and a curious audience, who become luncheon guests at the table of the great playwright.
