A shorter version of Rebound premiered at the Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) in New York in July 2016, picking up three festival nominations, including the Playwright’s Award. It was reprised at New York’s Spotlight-On Festival in April 2017. A longer version than this one-hour Fringe production was shortlisted for the Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s 2017 season.

The play stars BROOKLYN ALLAN as the uptight girlfriend, Eloise (“Thank God I don’t take after my mother! She’s Sydney and I’m Melbourne.”); JOSHUA MOREL as the slacker boyfriend, Troy (“Why pretend everything’s all right? Between us. I wouldn’t be sleeping on the sofa if things were all right. Between us. Would I?”); SARAH ROBINSON as the romantically conflicted mother, Suzie (“Handsome devil. Quite sure he hasn’t done the dirty on you?”) and ELLA ARENDELLE as the fun-loving friend you love and loathe in equal measure, Megan (“I don’t have a type. They’re all fair game.”).
