The Meeting Place

Written & Produced by Darren Brealey

Directed by Justin Conkey

Performed during the 1996 Melbourne Fringe Festival, at the East Melbourne Hotel (E.M.H.), Hoddle Street, East Melbourne.

The Meeting Place is a two act, ninety-minute full length dramatic play. Set in modern times in a family situation. “Darren Brealey's first time writing/directing piece in a makeshift bar theatre. His The Meeting Place was a simple even old fashioned story of family and loss. I rarely cry in the theatre - at least for emotional reasons - but there I was enjoying some new talent. And I was bawling, with the joy of it and of the magic of a good yarn well put, the tears running down my cheeks like a bloody baby.” – Ralph Mclean (3RRR).

The Meeting Place was selected by the Board and Staff of the Melbourne Fringe and the awards judges for a special recommendation award in the category of the Melbourne Fringe Performance Arts Awards.
