EVOL
by Joanna Erskine
Director
​​​​
At Sydney Actors School, 2023.

​​
EVOL is a multidisciplinary theatrical experience. An all-encompassing adventure for audiences. Far from being a literal play, EVOL exists as a series of vignettes about love... EVOL is love backwards. It takes a moment to realise what you’re looking at.
