\"The Grand is darkly funny and touches on humanitys big-ticket items ambition, belonging and cocktail animals\" - Artgaze Magazine, October 2013


The Grand has fallen under hard times. Between moss that grows as you watch, birds that just wont quit and a lack of actual tourists, the hotel sits empty of guests. Save for one.

The Grands proprietor, Matilda, reluctantly take on a new housekeeper, Eugenia, and as the months pass by a game unfolds distorting the line between real life and fantasy.

With a dry humor, this cyclical play explores peoples ambition and ones sense of belonging. Matilda and Eugenia struggle through a once grand hotel, in a town in the depths of a tourism deficit, solely dependent on one another.

Carless has a beautiful turn of phrase and a distinctive theatrical voice, unhurried and mesmerising as she builds the relationship between the two women. Are they half-sisters? Is this an elaborate game between them or merely the fantasy of one woman dying slowly in a poisoned world? Real Time Arts Magazine, March 2013.

Production History: The Grand was first produced by White Rabbit Theatre Ensemble as part of The Arts Centre Gold Coasts Independent Season in The Space Theatre on Novemeber 14, 2013.
