The Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s
Eternity Playhouse, formerly the Burton Street Tabernacle, is the home to
Vanessa Bates’ Every Second,
a new play about infertility, IVF, families and wanting children.
Set on a raised
spiralling platform designed by Andy McDonell, the staging circles around the
various topics, elliptically and directly, confronting them from various angles
and various positions, with tensions rising and falling, ultimately rising to a
crescendo-like tipping point between partners and Bates’ two couples.
