Five Wings, the first production by Monash Queer Department, performed as part of the 2008 Midsumma Festival, is coming your way!

Penned by student writer Ephiny Gale, Five Wings delves into a subculture obsessed with escapism, where fantasy has replaced reality, inaction is the norm, and everyone talks about sex but no-one actually has it.

In this dystopia, we meet Kerri who is still in love with her ex-girlfriend, too young to legally download porn, and utterly incapable of kissing anyone she actually cares for. So when an imaginary psychologist suddenly beckons Keri into her office, it seems only reasonable to stay to chat.

Featuring a stellar cast, Five Wings is a dark comedy about the line between fantasy and reality, how relationships change people, and the contrast between logic, feelings and perception.

The Monash Queer Department is funded by the Monash Student Association. The existence of the Queer Department is under threat by ASOL (Anti-Student Organisation Legislation), also known as Voluntary Student Unionism. Without your support, quality student-made theatre could disappear from our universities.

Five Wings presented by Monash Uni Student Queer Department with MUST (Monash Uni Student Theatre) needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. At times touching and equally as funny, this play centres around Keri and her desire to find her niche in life as a young 17 year old lesbian virgin.

Alot of the plot line is left up to one's own imagination, as characters seem to drift in and out of Keri's life, as though they may or may not be imaginary.
