7 Minutes in Hell

'funny and bitter-sweet, with its ups and downs navigated with a good pace, great energy, and wonderful chemistry between all the actors.' - Erica Moffat
"7 Minutes in Hell" is a captivating theatrical production that was conceived with the intention of exploring the depths of human connection and the transformative power of communication. The play was created to delve into the complexities of relationships and to challenge societal norms and biases that hinder genuine connections between individuals.
 
The story revolves around Jen and Liam, two contrasting teenagers who have known each other almost their whole lives but have rarely interacted. The play begins when they are accidentally left locked in a closet during a game of "7 Minutes in Heaven," with what was meant to be a short-lived experience turning into an extended confinement lasting almost 40 minutes.
 
As the play unfolds, Jen and Liam are forced to engage in conversation to pass the time. Initially, their interactions are filled with tension and awkwardness, reflecting their different personalities and past experiences. However, as they start to answer questions, their guardedness begins to crumble, leading to a deeper exploration of their lives, experiences, and childhood memories. They gradually shed their inhibitions, sharing intimate details, and supporting one another through their vulnerability.

This show was performed in July 2022 at The Butterfly Club in Melbourne. It was written by Jaimee Doyle, Directed by Charlie Veitch and 

Performed by Jaimee Doyle, Charlie Veitch, Ethan RutledgeHannah Ruthven and Seb Fendall
