Northcote Town Hall Season 2011 - The Car Cemetery

The Car Cemetery
directed by Megan Jacqueline

written by Fernando Arrabal

‘I can’t sleep, something’s getting in my way.’

‘It must be the steering wheel sticking into your back again.’


A commune of people reminiscent of Tramline 86 reside in a dump yard where once loved vehicles go to die. Living amongst the wreckage of cars and old upholstery, the occupants of the car cemetery live out a blasphemous and subversive rewrite of the passion of Christ.

An eccentric and dark comedy, The Car Cemetery is indicative of peoples’ fractured sense of self, portrayed through the cycles and rituals of the characters relationships.
