Spoken Word: Episode 37: Peter Heavenheld and Cleo’s Stratos

This week on Spoken Word we were joined live in the studio by Canberra- based playwright and poet Peter Heavenheld as we discussed his most recent play, ‘Cleo’s Stratos’

 

Topics discussed: Shakespeare, Classical tragedy, Greek Mythology, AI; theatre. poetry music and so much more.
‘Amid war, chaos and contagion, some dream of a return to their origins. Hiding in his man-cave on Warrigal Road, deep in Oakleigh South, Phil Vitaliforos suddenly decides to build a replica of the world’s greatest rally car – The Lancia Stratos, to the horror of his intractable wife Mary and their daughter Cleo, a scorned environmental scientist intending to save the world from Climate Change. Their fate is in the hands of the Gods, as Delta Disease plagues the city, who beguile themselves with their Earthly playthings and have even more in store for the trio in this modern Greek-Australian classic.’
Full $36| Concession $25.50| Group of 4 $124 | Party Pack (10 tickets or more) $25.00 each
