PART OF SYDNEY FRINGEIt's 1992. An actress and a housewife meet in a library. What secrets will you overhear?Step back in time and immerse yourself in a real library. Browse the shelves and listen to hushed confessions of the casting couch and a man lying dead on the carpet.Originally produced in London by W Theatre Wanstead, this sold-out site specific production now comes to Sydney as the debut production of its new permanent Sydney branch, W Theatre Woollahra, in partnership with Woollahra Libraries and proudly supported by Woollahra Council.The original production featured Logie-nominated Sophie Dillman, beloved for her portrayal of Ziggy on Home and Away, and she reprises her role for Sydney audiences.Each of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads is a perfectly distilled masterpiece: sometimes disturbing, often hilarious, and always profoundly humane.“His finest achievement—indeed, masterpiece wouldn't be too strong a word.” — Daily Telegraph
