Now, the latest has arrived.The Warehouse that sits on the edge of town is the world's largest online retail distribution centre.It's also the perfect representation of unease at the centre of the new Australian play coming to Malthouse Theatre in Naarm/Melbourne, Break of Day.Throughout the taut beats of this story, the threatening atmosphere of The Warehouse is always present."We're all hyper aware to this thing that's arrived that doesn't have to sleep and it doesn't have to eat and it doesn't have to have holidays," says director Sarah Goodes, known for staging recent hits such as Julia, The Talented Mr Ripley and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?Break of Day tells a simple story of a struggling family in a struggling fictional (but very real) town.But at a time where it's virtually impossible to read the news without hearing reports of the rise of AI, towns fighting against data centres, or mass redundancies wrought by technology, it captures something much larger."It's really culturally and economically specific," says Goodes, "but everything that happens in this play is universal."Pam — played by formidable stage and screen actor Kat Stewart — has been living in Burra Creek her whole life.A single mum to a teenager with grand ambitions that involve getting as far away as possible, she has spent her entire life working The play happens when it's time for it to happen."And with all the pressures of the world outside, Goodes says people need this play now more than ever."We just spend so much time pushing everything down — keeping it down, keeping it down, keeping it down…"Theatre's this great place where you can go 'ah, ah!'
