HIR is here! Our Nuclear family 2.0 have blasted through the opening weekend of shows with sold-out houses, captivating critics and audiences alike. Here’s what they’re saying:
“Whip-smart and subversive, provocative and ambitious.” – ★★★★, The Age
“Hir is an outstanding piece of contemporary theatrical writing…punchy, accessible and confronting theatre which throws up controversial questions. The acting is outstanding and it is a triumph by the director, Daniel Clarke.” – ★★★★★, Arts Hub
“Director, Daniel Clarke, has steered this play superbly…”
– ★★★★ 1/2, Theatre People
“Pitch-perfect cast…anarchic volleys of laughter…deeply affecting.”
-★★★★, Australian Book Review
“…beautiful, disturbing and poignant…engaging performances…not to be missed.”
– Theatre Press

New Ensemble members
We are thrilled to welcome two new Ensemble members to the family! Joining us this year is Justin Hosking (Uncle Vanya, The Realistic Joneses) and Darcy Kent (desert, 6:29pm). We loved working with them both last year and can’t wait to see them grace our stage in 2018. We’re also pleased that after some time away working on other projects, you can expect to see more of founding Ensemble member David Whiteley this year.
