Overview
The Damage Is Done is a solo theatre work presented by Deus Ex Femina, exploring queerness, sisterhood and the fault lines running through an Italian-Australian family.
When a devastating secret about one sister shatters the family equilibrium, the central character seizes the moment to tell her own truth, certain nothing could be worse. She is wrong.

The Damage Is Done is a solo theatre work presented by Deus Ex Femina, exploring queerness, sisterhood and the fault lines running through an Italian-Australian family.
When a devastating secret about one sister shatters the family equilibrium, the central character seizes the moment to tell her own truth, certain nothing could be worse. She is wrong.
Fiercely intimate, unsentimental and darkly funny, the work lays bare loyalty, shame and love: what survives, how people transform, and what love remains once the damage is done.
The production arrives in Sydney following a sold-out, standing-ovation season at Adelaide Fringe, where it received five-star reviews from three independent publications.
Written and performed by an award-winning Adelaide theatre maker, the work is presented as part of QTopia Sydney's Pride Fest program at The Loading Dock Theatre in Darlinghurst.
