Strengths & Weaknesses

“What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.”- Donald Trump

After a successful run at the 2010 Melbourne Fringe Festival with the original piece A + B=? , collaborators Adam Direen and Jorge Tsipos are back with another exciting, two man show. 

Strengths & Weaknesses tells the story between two candidates waiting for an interview for a mysterious job opportunity. 

Who are these men? Why do they so desperately want the position? And what will they do to get it?

Devised by Adam and Jorge who are both in their final year at Monash University, the initial starting point for the project spurred from the ever approaching reality of graduating and facing the difficulties of making a living outside the safety net of tertiary education. 

Two parts hilarious, one part truth, but mostly consisting of blatant lies, the audience will find that the two candidates frame a world that is utterly impenetrable yet that we all long to be a part of. An absurd venture into the world of big business, theatre and the unknown, this piece promises to resonate with anyone who has ever applied for a job.
