Description Two plays written after Sunday evening workshops organised by Hoopla in association with The Age and Penguin Books (the playwright claims they were both penned in a train carriage on the Glen Waverley Line). "Oh" explores the unfulfilled desires simmering beneath the cosy veneer of a couple's domestic life, while the suburban characters in "Let Me In" must shelve their dreams before they're able to fully articulate them.
