Teacher Preview Nights - 5th and 6th of January

For a Better World

'Her complexion is changing from light to dark and back again. This is the head of a reptile. She is going to kill me.'

In an isolated jungle – sometime in the future – a unit of eight men and women fight an unknown enemy. It is a war that has gone on so long no-one can remember why it started or imagine how it can end. Soldiers have lost touch with reality, glass-eating aliens have infiltrated their ranks, and unit Delta Zero’s massacre replays itself night after night in the same dark clearing.

Blowing apart the idea of war as entertainment, this amoral epic is a provocative work from one of Germany’s most celebrated contemporary playwrights.

Griffin offers complimentary preview tickets to its education group members, so that teachers have the opportunity to experience new Australian drama and to see each production before bringing their students.
