Directed by Megan Jones and featuring performances from Morris, Jonathan Dyer, Petra Glieson, Aurora Kurth and Daniel Niceski, 100 has a core question: what is the meaning of life?

It won a Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002 and tracks the story of five people who must make eternally binding decisions.

Morris, who has worked with MTE since its inception five years ago, said 100 encouraged audiences to reflect on their memories and sense of purpose.

"The play starts off with four people that arrive in a void," she said. "They don't know where they are and they don't know each other. A fifth person arrives and he is the keeper of information; he tells them they are dead.

''They don't believe him, and he tells them they have one hour to choose one memory from their entire life and take that into the afterlife, where it will be played on loop."

The play engages themes of love, self worth, sacrifice, dreams and honour as each character attempts to select a solitary, everlasting memory.

Morris said MTE would use audiovisual equipment and physical ensemble work to bring the play's emotional and comic elements to life.

"The group works in non-naturalistic theatre, we use lots of symbolic gesture and chorus ensemble work. We like to do works that are relevant, that are touching, that people - when they walk away - will think and feel something."

She said 100 was a simple but visually beautiful play that would make a huge impression on the audience.

"It makes us question what is really important to us, in a world of growing materialism."

100 shows at Northcote Town Hall, Studio One, 189 High Street, Northcote, until March 13. Details: 0419 585 720.
