Primary Trust
 

Fresh from its critically acclaimed debut season in New York City, Ensemble Theatre is thrilled to present the Australian premiere of Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, Primary Trust from 19th June to 12th July.

Directed by Darren Yap (Clyde’s, The One) and featuring a stellar cast of four including Charles Allen (Clyde’s, Griffin Theatre’s A Hoax), Peter Kowitz (Rough Justice, The Deal), Angela Mahlatjie (Debut, STC’s The Dictionary of Lost Words) and Albert Mwangi (Mr Bailey’s Minder), Primary Trust is an uplifting, offbeat story about finding the courage to change.

Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping a mai tai (or two) with his best friend Bert. When a sudden layoff shatters his routine, Kenneth is forced to turn the page and embark on a new chapter of self-discovery. Will Bert stick around for the journey?

Intimate, honest, and filled with “astonishing vulnerability” (The New York Times), don’t miss this striking new work by one of America’s most exciting new playwrights.

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
