Megan Wilding's 'Game. Set. Match.' Blends Tennis and Revenge at Malthouse Theatre

Megan Wilding's new play 'Game. Set. Match.' premieres at Malthouse Theatre's Beckett Theatre in Melbourne, running until 23 May. Directed by Jessica Arthur, the play follows a meet-cute at a funeral between Joshua, CFO of a tennis player's foundation, and Ray, a cleaner played by Wilding herself. The narrative shifts from romantic comedy to a darker revenge thriller, touching on colonial historical mistreatment. Wilding, a Gamilaroi woman, stars alongside Rick Davies. The production features intimate staging by designer Isla Shaw, with scene changes handled by the actors. The play draws comparisons to 'Hard Candy', 'Promising Young Woman', 'Death and the Maiden', and 'Alexandra's Project'.
