The Damage Is Done

When a devastating secret about her sister shatters the family equilibrium, Isadora seizes the moment to tell her own truth, certain nothing could be worse. She's wrong.

The Damage is Done is a taut, high-voltage solo about queerness, sisterhood and the fault lines running through an Italian-Australian home. Fiercely intimate and darkly funny, it lays bare loyalty, shame and love; what survives, how we transform, and what love lasts once The Damage is Done.

In a family where silence is its own language, Isadora has been waiting for the right moment. She thought she'd found it. What follows is a reckoning - when the story you've been holding collides with the stories others have been keeping, and love is not quite enough to hold the shape of what remains.

Achingly honest, darkly comic, and unmistakably queer: a show about the damage families do in the name of love, and what, if anything, can be rebuilt.
