About

Part installation, part theatre poem, part noir thriller, CUT took the 2015 Adelaide Fringe by storm.

A woman prepares for work. In her image a series of chilling events unfold. She is hunter and hunted. An elaborate fantasy? Or a real threat circling outside her door?

Prepare to be sealed into this intimate and unforgettable theatrical trip. The psychological equivalent of extreme turbulence.

'Truly terrifying' **** (Time Out, Sydney)

'Norris is simply outstanding' ****1/2 (RipItUp.com.au)

'A total work of art' (Sydney Morning Herald)


Reviews

****1/2 John Wells

Ray Smith

• 
The Australian
“The excellent Hannah Norris... intriguingly ambiguous"
Murray Bramwell


• The Barefoot Review
“This play in the dark is all about light… Norris’s performance is superb… This is what a Fringe is all about.”
Samela Harris

• Stage Whispers
“Her intense performance is brilliant!… a work of art” 
Kerry Cooper
​
• The Clothesline
“Hannah Norris is extremely convincing as the disturbed, disturbing “Woman” at the centre of Duncan Graham’s dark work, Cut… On occasion, it’s like being in the darkest recesses of a David Lynch film. Or inside a bad dream.” David Robinson

• Crikey Daily Review
“Unfortunately, its intensely claustrophobic staging in the Manse theatre proved unbearable for this writer who had to excuse himself at the beginning of the show. “ 
Ben Brooker

• Canberra Critics Circle
“With impeccable skill, expert timing and emotional intensity, Norris charts the challenging course... The tension is palpable and the final solution shocking and irrevocable."
Peter Wilkins


• InDaily
“Norris is able to switch from bright and breezy to dark and scary in a convincing performance."
Jim Mack
