SUMMARY:Camp Darwin - by Arjun Raina
DESCRIPTION:  \nCamp Darwin is a new play written by Gisborne-based South Asian writer\, actor\, director and teacher Arjun Raina\, and based on his personal experience of being held in quarantine at The National Centre for Resilience\, Darwin during the height of the COVID Pandemic. \nAbout ‘Camp Darwin’\, a story of human resilience \nA hundred and fifty Australian Citizens and Residents return by a Government aided Qantas flight to Darwin after having been stuck in India for over a year and more. They are taken to the Howard Springs Quarantine Facility in Darwin\, Northern Territory. At the Quarantine Centre we meet six of them\, Raminder and Dalip\, both of Indian origin\, Peter Xu\, a Chinese Australian and Jack\, Larry\, and Chris\, Australians of Anglo-Saxon heritage. \nWelcomed and escorted by members of the Australian Defence Force\, they are housed in steel dongas with little porches on which they are allowed to sit masked\, to protect the wider community from their potentially virus infected bodies and breath. For fourteen days\, these six characters live their restricted lives in these dongas and porches\, being tested for Covid three times\, each test bringing the threat of a positive result\, leading to being moved to the mysterious ‘red zone.’ The living out of the lives of these six characters in the restrictive\, and at times oppressive regime of the Quarantine Centre\, and within the greater threat and stress of the Coronavirus Pandemic\, offers a deeply empathetic insight into the human drama being played out with the lives of Australians desperate to return home to their families and loved ones. \nThe gruelling testing regime\, the surveillance systems and presence of Cops and Guards\, the intimacy between strangers\, sporadic explosions of humour\, of dance\, of laughter\, the moments of great stress\, anger and breakdown\, all lead the drama to its climax when on the last day one of the six men tests positive. \nGET TICKETS HERE: https://www.castlemainetheatrecompany.com/camp-darwin/
