A birthday becomes a family reckoning
Benjamin Law's Torch the Place follows three adult siblings returning to their mother's Gold Coast home for her sixtieth birthday. Their visit becomes an attempt to confront years of accumulated possessions and the memories attached to them. The comedy uses an ordinary family setting to explore hoarding, identity and the difficulty of letting go.
Queensland Theatre Company's production ran at the Bille Brown Theatre in South Brisbane from 10 to 29 March 2026. Ngọc Phan directed the season, bringing Law's family story into the company's mainstage programme.
Practical bulbs within a domestic setting
Krank'd supplied Astera NYX Bulbs for the production's practical lighting. A practical is a light that belongs to the world of the set, such as a lamp or exposed bulb, as well as contributing to the stage picture.
The NYX format lets a designer control colour and intensity while retaining the appearance of a household bulb. That makes it relevant to a drama centred on a domestic interior: the light can belong to the room the characters inhabit and still be controlled as part of a theatre production. Our hire supplied those practical sources to the show's lighting team.
