GLORY DOWN THE LINE [2025]

Simone and Brayden are trapped. The bus is gone and the roads lead nowhere. Their only hope is a payphone with access to ‘the other side’.

SYNOPSIS

In the remote town of Dahlia, somewhere in rural Victoria, two strangers find themselves completely alone, together. Each from opposite sides of the West Gate yet both navigating recent tragedies, and somehow they’ve end up in limbo. Literally. Straight-line roads lead them in circles, unusual lights appear on the horizon, and the unpredictable payphone rings with messages from an indefinable source.

As they listen closely, voices from the payphone reveal the history of this peculiar town, ultimately exposing the unspoken truth between the two strangers. With the hope of healing yet stranded with no way out, Simone and Brayden face a significant choice: to stay or to change.

Starring Julia Gasparini and Henry Stephensen, Glory Down the Line is a thought-provoking new work that delves into the intersections of fate, grief, and the enigma of the Australian Landscape.
