Managing Carmen
Playing at QPAC is Managing Carmen, a story about inner desire and the price of identity.
Overview
Brent Lyall is a man that has it all. At age twenty-three he has a beautiful girlfriend, two Brownlow medals, and he captains one of the country’s most illustrious and powerful football clubs - but he has a secret.
From time to time the young captain enjoys dressing up in women’s clothes and, on discovering his client’s deep and dark secret, Brent’s agent Rohan Swift sweeps in to prevent the shocking, devastating truth from coming out. The media already have a whiff of Lyall’s corseted secret and, if they get proof and unleash their story, the athlete’s promising career, and the agents financial stability, could come crushing down in an instant.
But Brent’s secret is intoxicating and, sooner or later, Carmen will be set free.
With 40 year’s experience behind him, and a string of box office successes David Williamson has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most well-respected playwrights. Managing Carmen is his latest laugh out loud creation, a hilarious parody of the personalities we know and love; the no holds barred businessman, the gold digger trophy wife and the flawed footy hero.
