MAGDA’S FASCINATION WITH WAX CATS

Published in Independent Brisbane: Four Plays

Magda wears glasses, has tree-trunk legs and has a bull-bar on her teeth. Everyone that knows her calls her ‘Mong’, including her family. Her only friend is a dead cat. But amidst her introverted state and obscure imaginings, Magda is hoarding a very, very dark secret. Magda’s lyrical prose takes us deeper into the twisted life and psychology of someone who is ‘too dead to stop it/ too alive to stop it’ with extraordinary effect.
