I Promise This Isn’t About You (Even If It Feels Like It Is)

A non-binary person with short curly hair and wearing a tank top sits in a bathtub looking broodingly up at the camera. The scene is lit by fluorescent purples and blues, and in the bathtub is an eski with a disco ball and bottles of alcohol. On the counter next to the tub is strewn vapes, tarot cards, and more alcohol.

A new play dedicated to anyone who’s thrown it all down the toilet and regretted it in the morning.

”Oi! Dickhead! Stop munting in my agapanthus!”

Set entirely in a share-house toilet, five young people in Melbourne’s southeast are thrown together for a night of bacchanalia and melancholy at an end-of-lease house party.

Amidst overlapping masculinity crises, spirals of loneliness, and queer audacity, I Promise This Isn’t About You follows the relentless discontentment of youth while the party rages on outside.

As they watch themselves cross the threshold of adulthood in real time – interrupted by breakups, betrayals, and a gatecrashing little sister – they’re faced with the daunting, yet liberating, realisation that their relationships will never be the same.

Written by emerging playwright Sarah Matthews, I Promise This Isn’t About You explores love in all its overlapping forms amidst the mess of life in twenty-first-century Melbourne.

Sarah is a recent graduate of the VCA Master of Theatre (Writing). She is currently under commission with Canberra Youth Theatre and has developed work with both Australian Theatre for Young People and VIMH.
