Based on And The Ass Saw The Angel, Nick Cave’s debut novel, Fledgling Theatre Company’s Jericho Creek provides a gothic understanding of humanity that observes our inclination toward violence and self-destruction.
Typical of Nick Cave’s better-known written work, which consists mostly of screenplays like The Proposition and Lawless, there is a pulsating melancholy that thrives in the undercurrent of Jericho Creek. A sense of danger feverishly vibrates from the offset, wanting to burst through the flimsy film of the town folk’s pretence that is keeping it contained.
