Description:

Strange Currency is a quirky, dark comedy about unrequited love by emerging playwright Harley Hefford. Having received a place in St Martin's Threshold program for emerging artists, is now being put for the Melbourne Fringe Festival (6-10 of October)!

Synopsis:

A comedy about how not to go about finding love.

In a world not dissimilar to our own, a person will sometimes try to convince another person that this other person is completely and utterly in love with them, purely through words. Strange Currency follows the story of that person and the other person.

ROLEX – A law student who can predict the future. Really. Well, it sort of works. Age: Early 20s

DAVID – A wannabe sculptor who works at a call centre and enjoys monopoly. Age: Early to Mid 20s
