"why do you want to be friends with these people? You don’t even like them. And they certainly don’t like you."

After surviving a nasty near-death experience, a group of close friends wipe the slate clean and embrace a tree-change, living a sustainable life in the country. But nature isn’t always so welcoming, and when the friends are faced with the pressing task of killing a young cow, a chain reaction begins that will see them confront some ugly and shocking truths. 

AustralianPlays.org Literary Manager and Red Door Curator, Tom Healey, sat down to speak with Eddie about his 2013 work, commissioned and premiered by the Melbourne Theatre Company.
