“TIDES FLUSH EVERYTHING OUT. EVEN CRAZY CHICKS LIKE YOU”

In Sydney playwright Katherine Thomson’s “Kayak”, all Ruth wants to do is be out on the harbour with her kayak and enjoy the quiet. She’s in Heaven. “I'm nestled in the meniscus, as secure as a duck.”

Just as Ruth gets lost in the serenity, her floating universe is destroyed by a perilous encounter with teenage hoons in a tinnie. Ruth seeks revenge and tracks down Luke and his guardian, Wen. A battle for moral high ground ensues as tables are turned over and over again, until everyone realizes just how deep in they are. This is a fast-moving thriller with a strong comic undertow.
