Accidental Productions presents  a new play by Adelaide playwright Alex Vickery-Howe (Retaliation, Once Upon a Midnight) exploring with humour and theatricality our ongoing search for the values we can live by in a world where our moral foundations are as uncertain as a compass at the South Pole.Linking fractal art, religion, Alzheimer's and several forms of love, Molly's Shoes is the story of Molly, David and Elspeth at two periods in their lives, twenty years apart.

Molly’s Shoes depicts a narrative split across time. Physics students David Moss and Elspeth Straun fall in love between 1997 and 1999 but their relationship fractures into the new millennium as their belief systems begin to clash under the critical eye of their senior lecturer, Professor Molly Taffy. In the near future, an older David and Elspeth are reunited in time to watch Molly degenerate into Alzheimer’s, forced to make ethical decisions as the moment dictates.
