Caravan
‘Dee's performance can be hideously funny. Wilks nearly reprises her powerful role in Patricia Cornelius' Shit. She's a rough-as-guts Donna as magnetic in moments of bitterness and fury as she is in moments of clowning.’
The Age
Caravan is bitter and hilarious, tender and toxic: a darkly comic look at life on the margins and the universal need for love. For years a mother and her daughter have lived together in a dilapidated caravan full of faded dreams.
Over the course of one evening, while Donna’s phone pings and Judy sucks oxygen from her mask, they bicker and make up, scream and threaten violence and dream of better things.
