It didn’t start with a bang.
It wasn’t something big.

“It didn’t start with a bang. It started just like any other night”
During a dinner party for a few friends, Thomas, Pia and Julia witness a sudden horrific event.
Around the same time, a major passenger airline flight crashes, killing all 200 people and dominating the international news cycle.
Trying to process the enormity of what has happened to them, the three friends relive the events of the party, searching for clarity in the midst of jealousy, broken friendships and utter confusion.
Existence is fragile and our lives can change in the time it takes for a synapse to fire.

Theatre Review: Something Big
David O’Brien / The Barefoot Review
“Something Big is an intensely sophisticated piece.”
“The ensemble are three wickedly on point actors employing a solid dose of disciplined crazy; brave in performance.”
“The CRAM Collective’s debut is an epic, utterly gripping and enthralling experience.”
Theatre Review: Something Big
Pat Wilson / Glam Adelaide / 4.5 STARS
“This three-hander is a triumph; the actors play together the way good musicians do.”
“All three actors work at full physical and emotional stretch throughout the show; the performance hums with kinetic energy.”
Something Big by Anna Barnes
Jon Cocks / Weekend Notes / 5 STARS
“The bar is being raised and the Adelaide art scene will never be the same again.”
“This is bravura theatre. It deserves a longer run. If you want to see the next big thing, Something Big, and be moved and exhilarated by the daring deconstruction of the ways in which we blunder around the perimeters of a wounded soul, then see this play. If you can't get a ticket, begin a crowd-funding movement to finance a longer run of this play, so you can see it.”
