Description

Fresh out of school, fresh out of home and in their first-ever share house, Hester and Bronwyn desperately try to make the tiny share house a home.

When several unforeseeable circumstances arise, they try to find a way to navigate these and constantly compromise to avoid confrontation and keep their ‘home’ together.

The Roof is Caving In is a collision of Australian Gothic, Picasso and the urge to say ‘sorry’ when you run into a chair.

A cautionary tale for losing yourself while trying to appease someone else, about growing up, and the housing market’s inevitable crash; think landlords, handymen, shared fridges, house-warmings, malfunctioning power systems and things falling down around you.

We acknowledge that we live and create on unceded lands. We pay our respects to the First Peoples of Australia, and to their elders past, present and future.
