Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s next play,Broken,has won the Victorian Premier’s Award for literature, one of the most sought after awards in Australia.
The Darwin-based writer Mary Anne Butler has won both the drama and literature prizes, and now Darlinghurst Theatre Company is producing its Sydney premiere and first staging outside of the Northern Territory.
Brokenis a story of resilience and hope that taps into the heart of the Australian landscape. The play begins with a near fatal car crash on an isolated road in the Central Desert. Ash is trapped in her car and is rescued by a stranger, and in that moment of life and death a bond is formed and worlds collide.
The play will be directed by Shannon Murphy and will feature performances from Ivan Donato, Sarah Enright and Rarriwuy Hick.
The season runs from Wednesday August 3 – Sunday August 28 at the Eternity Playhouse. Adult tickets are $45 and can be found here.
