With heart, humour and searing observation, Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living is an honest and insightful look at the forces that bring people together.
When Ani is reunited with her estranged husband Eddie after a devastating accident, their relationship shifts from divorcing to caregiving. John is an affluent PhD candidate with cerebral palsy, and has no qualms about making his support worker – fellow graduate student and bartender-by-night Jess – uncomfortable about her reasons for choosing the job.
Through the lives of four mismatched souls striving for connection, Majok’s Pulitzer Prize-winning script lays bare the exquisite tenderness and cost of being human.
With an ensemble cast including Rachel Edmonds (When You Wore Braces), Mabel Li (Safe Home), Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road) and Oli Pizzey Stratford (Neighbours), Cost of Living taps into the essence of human connection and our universal need to care for others and ourselves. Less

A story of isolation, sacrifice and the climate crisis by 11-time Fringe Festival Award-winner Patrick Livesey (DIRT, Naomi).
An activist sets themself on fire. What drove them to such an act?
Recipient of 11 Fringe Festival Awards, Patrick Livesey returns to Melbourne Fringe in this timely and confronting new solo work under the direction of Green Room Award-winner Benjamin Nichol (SIRENS, Kerosene).
I hope this means something ventures beyond the science of the climate crisis to uncover a mind undone by it. Following award-winning turns in DIRT and Naomi, Livesey dives beneath the banal to bring you a visceral, vulnerable and vital reflection on the weight of a dying planet on the human soul.
Patrick says, ‘This is the biggest and somehow the most personal story I’ve ever written. Join me this October to find out how I weave the recollections of those who know the climate crisis best, within an intimate portrait of grief and heartbreak.’
