The Waiting Room at The Theatre, Metro Arts Edward Street Brisbane

Stepping out from a door into a small room, Wilfred finds herself part of a team of divine bureaucratic incompetence, but has no memory of how she got there. Firstly she must solve the meaning of two doors, an adding machine and the mind-numbing stream of the most terrifyingly generic person in existence: Smith. But as mistakes begin to pile up, the grand cosmic question ‘Who’s in charge of the whole thing?’ rears its head. Wilfred must now choose between being God of a small room, or throwing it all away and taking a step into the great unknown.

Written by Simon Brook & Directed by Scott Witt
