Low by Daniel Keene

Emma and Jay are lovers, isolated and outcast from society. Money is scarce and the streets are dark and unforgiving. Desperate to prove themselves and change their fortunes, they take the law into their own hands. They’re good at it. They soon become one of Melbourne’s most notorious and dangerous criminal couple..The power is intoxicating and they enjoy taking what isn’t theirs… with heartbreaking consequences.

Told through 28 poems, this dark and poetic love story tells the tale of two outcasts trying to claim their place in Australian society. The text is weaved together with an original score that underpins the emotional journey of the young, isolated narrators.

As the struggle of isolation is widely felt, now more than ever, Daniel Keene’s LOW (written in 1990), travels through time and grabs us by the heart.

LOW is a tale that comes from and belongs to Melbourne’s streets. Although the characters find themselves in dire circumstances, it is ultimately a story of hope.
