EDGE
Wanting and Needing
By Jackson Used
14th September 2016
Chrissie Parrott Arts, Perth
We find James and Anna, in a bedroom, at a turning point in their relationship. The sex isn’t enough for Anna. She needs James to play rough. James is content, she is everything he ever wanted.
For the final staging on this night the audience designed the layout of the bedroom and bathroom, establishing the walls with their chairs and witnessing the intimate details of this evening as if they were the walls.

Full Script
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation.
​
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, that art has been made here and culture sung for the history of recorded time.
we offer our deep respect to elders past, present and emerging.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
