The Collector

SameBrain Productions presents The Collector, written by John Fowles, and adapted by Mark Healy.

The gripping tale of ‘The Collector’ explores the point that you can’t force love. What happens when Frederick, a twisted collector, wins the lottery and can have everything he’s ever desired? Unluckily for Miranda, she’s about to find out. A disturbing thriller that delves into the inner psyche of a psychopath, trauma & power. 

‘The Collector’ fuses this classic story in an early 2000s Sydney, combining live theatre, AV and an original score to create a seat-gripping thriller, illuminating the current domestic violence crisis nationwide.
