Every moment counts

Sarah Eves, a fierce matriarch, a survivor, and the anchor of her family, has made a decision. She hosts a family lunch, but when her children arrive, old rivalries, bitter resentments, and buried fears surface—yet a devastating secret waits right there at the table. What comes next will smash apart even the strongest bonds of love. This new Perth play is a visual meditation on the hero(ines) journey, as Sarah prepares one final, gut-wrenching sacrifice for her children.

Written and directed by Elisa Williams, with a team of Perth’s most exciting actors, Five Minutes to Midnight confronts one of the most profound issues facing families today: What would you sacrifice for your mother? How far would you go in the name of love and duty? If you have parents, you need to see this show.
