An Offies Assessor's Choice listing, Candy tells the semi-autobiographical story of Candy and Dan. During a 1980s Sydney summer, their love blossoms quickly, and in their desire to share everything, Candy tries heroin. This marks the beginning of their descent. Candy, based on Luke Davies' (Academy Award nominee) novel, was first brought to international attention in the 2006 film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish. The show blends physical theatre with stark, narrative realism. Praised by Gawn Grainger as 'exhilarating, evocative and utterly unmissable theatre', Candy received a five-star review from VoiceMag.uk.
