Donor - Julia Grace
Melbourne Fringe Festival | The Maybe Pile
Director: Emily O’Brien-Brown
Cast: Julia Grace
Sound Design: Ben Andrews
Donor is a dark comedy about ambition, inertia, and the tension between wanting to do everything and doing nothing. Directing Julia Grace in this one-woman show, I focused on rhythm, precision, and shared imagination, creating a space where a single performer could make multiple environments and characters fully present. It’s funny, sharp, and quietly devastating.
