Bron Batten: Waterloo

Waterloo

Bron Batten wrestles with love and war in an explosive interrogation of her ill-fated affair with a conservative military official in a thrilling performance at this year's Melbourne Fringe Festival.

A bittersweet romance crossed with an action blockbuster, Waterloo explores what happens when a lefty, Greens voting, almost vegan theatre artist dates a right-wing, cigar smoking, Margaret Thatcher-loving Tory soldier.

The show is a playful, disturbing and political contemporary performance which invites the audience to examine their own ideological beliefs around war, politics and the military. It asks the viewer to engage with the possibility of enacting violence and what extreme they could be capable of, given half a chance.

At turns hilarious, heart-wrenching and poignant, Waterloo is an unmissable modern morality tale from the creators of the world-wide sell-out show Onstage Dating.
