There’s a memorable scene in the season one finale of HBO’s Succession. Eldest son Connor Roy tells his playwright girlfriend about his idea to run for president, which will overshadow him supporting her play. “But drama can change minds,” she exclaims. “Yeah, but not really. I could outlaw drama. I mean, I never would but I’m just outlining the power of the position,” replies Roy. Back in 2018, it was a moment of comedy within the TV show’s unfurling drama.

I’m currently visiting the Adelaide Festival and Fringe, which bills itself as the second largest fringe in the world.

Back in 2023 at the Adelaide Fringe, I watched a show called Strange Chaos, performed late at night in a car park behind an old furniture shop.
