Restless explores the distractions, both internal and external that keep us awake at night.

Set in a bedroom, Restless takes the audience on a journey of one man’s desperate need to fall asleep.

Over the course of one sleepless night, you follow him through countless activities as he attempts to try and achieve sleep. It is a roller coaster ride where our main character is hurled through a myriad of emotional states from worry, lust, anxiety to complete and utter desperation, Watch him toss and turn, count sheep, meditate, drink endless cups of camomile tea and eventually lose the plot......


"The line between movement and reality such as dancing together, and movement as representation of relational exchange, is a fine one, which McCarthy crosses seamlessly and to good effect" Larry Ruffell , Canberra Times 2006
 
“The inevitable tossing and turning, getting caught up in sheets or when attempts at relaxation coupled
with the menacing sounds of mosquitos buzzing, dogs barking and taps dripping.”


“The duets,trios and double duets are rhythmically and gesturally varied and beautifully
placed across the performing space to create visual variety”.


2004 recipient of the Canberra Critics Circle Award
