🔥TONIGHT AT THE MONTREAL THEATRE! 🎫📽🔥
🏡 ALPHABET LANE – WEDNESDAY 17 JUNE 2026 AT 6:30PM 🏡
This atmospheric Australian drama filmed on location in the stunning Monaro region around Cooma, follows a young couple who leave the bustle of city life behind in search of a quieter existence in the countryside. Hoping that distance from urban pressures will strengthen their relationship, they settle into an isolated rural property surrounded by vast landscapes and long stretches of silence.
As the novelty of their new life begins to fade, loneliness and uncertainty slowly take hold. In an attempt to bring humour into their situation, the pair invent imaginary local neighbours and begin exchanging stories about these fictional friends. What begins as a harmless joke gradually grows more elaborate, drawing them deeper into a world shaped by their own imagination.
The film explores the emotional terrain of relationships under pressure, where isolation amplifies both affection and frustration. Subtle performances from Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Nicholas Denton anchor the story, capturing the shifting dynamics between intimacy and distance.
Directed by James Litchfield in his feature debut, the film uses the wide landscapes of rural Australia to reflect the characters’ inner lives. Blending elements of romance, mystery and psychological drama, the film offers a thoughtful exploration of connection, loneliness and the stories people create to reshape their reality.
