Love/Chamberlain
Lindy: I believe that people will believe anything. I believe in forgiveness. I forgive you.
Courtney Love meets Lindy Chamberlain on a remote highway somewhere in Australia, seeking an elusive Oracle. They form a highly unlikely connection, sliding in and out of time, guided by memory and loss.
“This is a fascinating play about grief, shame and love tracking the improbable intersection of Courtney Love and Lindy Chamberlain as they meet and share a moment in the desert of dreams. Mackey’s script is brilliant, deeply engaging, formally surprising and richly considered – it explores two ‘broken’ women in a uniquely theatrical, detailed way – well worth delving deeper into.” John Kachoyan, Australian Plays.

Lindy’s story, and part of this play, takes place on Anangu country, at the culturally significant, sacred site of Uluru. I pay my deep respect to the Anangu people, the Traditional Owners of these lands
