Elixir is EPiC Production's theatre show for Melbourne Fringe 2002.

Elixir is an original contemporary three act play based on the upcoming published book "Elixir" by award winning Melbourne poet and writer , Ali Alizadeh. Ali is currently finishing his PhD in Professional writing.

Elixir is the tale of a journey through the mezzanines of the contemporary Australian culture. Told from the point of view of a recent migrant, this journey interweaves the themes of youth suicide, racism, economic rationalism and substance and sexual abuse with the hero's own past as an Iranian living during the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. Confronting, at times darkly humorous and, ultimately, a quest for survival and peace, Elixir is the result of the author's post-graduate research in the fields of epic poetry, psychoanalysis and history. The image of the 'Elixir' - the drink of life - is inspired by the poetry of the medieval mystics who also yearned for endurance and harmony in a world of anger and brutality.

The team is consisted of Ali Alizadeh (writer, co-director), Ross Stewart (producer, publicity, sound), Tanja Beer (Director), Carlo San Giorgio (Actor), Simon Mallory (Actor), Belinda Kirwan (Actor), Micky Morris (Stage Manager, Publicity) and Nathan Dillon (Promotions).
