VILE

$5.40 – $15.00

A bloodied examination of abuse, displacement and damaged relationships, Vile hits audiences with its biting dialogue yet offers hope for a second chance.

Fleeing after a brutal act, Melanie Ryder is still trapped by the life she escaped 10 years earlier. As she slowly reaches into the shadows of her past, she will learn hidden truths and begin to rebuild from within. The complex causes of Mel’s anguish are revealed as we witness her eventual self-acceptance.

“An insider’s view of small town life. Part suburban nightmare, part love story, Didem Caia’s story is as heartbreaking as it is tough.”
– Hannie Rayson, Dramaturg

REVIEW: VILE

SALLEY HUSSEY, ARTSHUB, 21 JULY 2014

"Vile is a theatrical study in trauma; bodily trauma, psychical trauma, and the deep emotional blow that renders a subject â€˜stuckâ€™."

FIVE QUESTIONS: DIDEM CAIA

PLAYWRITING AUSTRALIA, JUNE 2014

"As the closing date for the National Script Workshops approaches, we ask playwright Didem Caia to share her experience developing Vile"

REVIEW: VILE

NICK PILGRIM, THEATREPEOPLE.COM.AU, 19 JULY 2014

"... Caia has set herself an ambitious challenge. Where film has the luxury of fast editing and quick cross â€“ cutting to build and drive the narrative, independent stage has no such advantage. What theatre does have in its favour, is a greater latitude to develop characterization through dialogue."
