'If time were slower there'd be more of the present to dwell upon the past'
Monk is a distinctly unpleasant man. But he is also, at the end of the day, a very honest one and there is a strong impression that he has gone into this voluntary exile, living in a humpy on One Tree Hill (he has actually chopped down the tree in a fit of pique), in order to confront his past and through this confrontation to explore his own creativity – in effect, to create himself all over again using the raw materials of the life he has already lived.
SOLUS Productions returns to Holden Street Theatre this June with award-winning playwright Jack Hibberd's poignant, captivating and poetic one man play. A STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION premiered at The Pram factory, Carlton in 1972. It is regarded by most connoisseurs as Hibberd's finest work, embodying a radical advance in the character of Australian theatre, embracing and remoulding as it does many of the strong strands in theatrical modernism.
Neil Jillet described the play as "probably the most beautiful Australian play ever written"
Bob Crimeen said "Hibberd's masterpiece of hallucinations and shattered dreams gives the actor the chance to prove his mettle in tragic-comedy"
By arrangement with John Timlin of the Jack Hibberd Estate
