IDEATION
“Who is the Vision Holder?”
We are proud to present the Australian premier of Ideation: a comedic thriller by Aaron Loeb. Patrick Campbell (Suicide Incorporated, The Unseen) directs and featuring Maddie Baillie (Trevor), Ben Loutitt (Heathers), James Chapman (Airness), Tim Turner (Two Point Oh) and Austin Cooper (The Shawshank Redemption).
Ninety minutes from now, a group of stressed-out corporate consultants is slated to present their work on a mysterious project. It's time to brainstorm within the morally ambiguous parameters they've been given so they can make it to their kids' soccer games and continue their ill-advised affairs. But as they work, the question of what they aren't being told looms ever larger, becoming harder to ignore. If something truly monstrous is going on, it wouldn't be happening over Starbucks scones . . . would it? A ferocious and hilarious thriller.
Ideation aims to be one of the most immersive theatrical experiences you will ever see, making use of a unique location in a board room at the University of Newcastle’s Q Building. Audience members will feel like they are sitting at the board room table with the characters (because some of them will be!).
