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.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.

    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
