strangers-250.jpgStrangers in Between is a two-act Australian play by Tommy Murphy coming to Hobart in June. It won the $15,000 2006 NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Best Play and was first staged at Sydney's Griffin Theatre Company in February 2005, where it broke box office records.

Strangers in Between explores brotherhood. Shane flees his family in regional Goulburn and finds himself in Sydney's Kings Cross. He attempts to build a surrogate family in the city. He confuses the two families. The city lover he worships is doubled and morphed with the brother he fears. Peter, an older man who is dealing with the imminent death of his elderly mother, is himself rendered maternal by the needs of runaway Shane.

I saw this play in Sydney and it's BRILLIANT. I'm so glad it's coming to Tasmania on its tour. It's incredibly funny and really moving too. A great gay story from the same writer and director who did Holding the Man (which DIDN'T come to Tasmania!). Hot cast smilies/wink.gif I'm so getting some friends together to go again.
