Guess who’s coming to dinner?

Nothing will fracture your nerves more than the thought of hosting a dinner party that turns sour. But what if you’re a fly on the wall and you get to watch the wine-fuelled dramas play out? Audiences can do exactly that with Thirty Three, a raucous urban drama from Cathode Tube Ray theatre company now playing at TAP Gallery.

Dolled up in her op-shop birthday frock, Saskia opens her Newtown terrace to a handful of her closest friends for a low-key dinner party to celebrate her 33rd birthday.

Loaded with booze and late-night party supplies, the revelry begins. But add into the mix a couple on the verge of divorce, a gatecrashing narcissistic cokehead and a hyperactive lesbian flower child, and the friendly evening erupts into a wild night of drinking, game-playing and shocking revelations.

Secrets are spilled, bombshells are dropped, friendships are challenged and sexual tensions reach fever pitch.
