The Large Breast or The Upside-down Bell

 

A murder mystery and a tale of obsessive passion. A man and woman from different worlds meet beside a pond, which holds the secret to something shocking that happened between them in the distant past.

​

"The play aims to make the writer, Raimondo Cortese, invisible, and, in its skillful employment of situational dialogue, it succeeds. The actors tease out the possibilities of the dialogue with a light touch, making the final shock all the more effective."

Helen Thompson, The Age
