 Strangers 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. Unsure of his sexuality, 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, but confuses the two families. The city lover he worships is doubled and morphed
with the brother he fears. Peter, an older gay man who is dealing with the imminent
death of his elderly mother, is himself rendered maternal by the needs of
runaway Shane.
