About Crapbox

Kevin Nemeth has shaped his domestic and everyday material into delicate, profound and gently funny explorations of human nature. Set in regional Victoria, Crapbox is narrated by a recently widowed man who has discovered that his ‘tree change’ home is haunted. The tension between his blunt pragmatism and the need to deal with his situation leads him on a surprising journey. In Early Morning, a couple wake too early and are beset by anxieties and paradoxes as they lie in bed - hoping that the other one will get up and make the coffee.

These works lovingly reveal the rubble of life journeys - negotiations with partners, relationships with children and aging parents, physical challenges - and the ricketty but enduring structures that are built from that rubble.

Kevin Nemeth is an award winning scriptwriter with over 30 years experience in the industry. He has been awarded five Australian Writers' Guild Awards and has received another nine nominations. He lives near Castlemaine and draws much material and inspiration from his location.
Performed by veteran actors Anne Browning, Peter Houghton and Tom Gutteridge - directing each other - this team bring their years of experience and collaboration to bear on these world premiere works.

Early Morning was the Theatre Script Prize Winner of the 2023 Lane Cove Literary Awards.
