16 - 20 JANUARY | THEATRE WORKS
All The Rest
VENUE
by finn mcgrath
A failed art gallery proposal and four house parties all on the same night. Could you think of a more cliché night for a struggling artist?
James is a painter whose rose-tinted view of the world is quickly brought to reality once she realises nothing is truly original – including her own work. And so, she does what any sensible person would do: try to get drunk and forget about it.
“All the Rest" is a dramedy all about the search for individuality, embracing imperfections, and finding human connection amidst a world filled with conformity and replication. Written by Law Revue alumni Finn McGrath, the show has a fast-paced wit while it dives into the introspective nature of creativity. It hopes to leave you grinning, whilst also leaving you overthinking your biggest life decisions - the perfect balance.
"Youthful, hilarious, and yet to be crushed by the industry." - Sammy J
"...a fierce focus every time he comes onstage immediately draws your eyes to him. He has so much energy it is almost detrimental, as even when he isn’t a main character, I find myself watching him." - The Dialog
