Middletown
Explore the hopes, fears and anxieties of a small American town.
Overview
Death and suburbia take centre stage in the final Red Stitch production of the year. The play? Will Eno's critically acclaimed Middletown, an existential tragicomedy set in the titular American town, where the citizens wax poetic on topics that most would rather not mention.
Running from November 20 through to December 19, the Red Stitch production will mark the Australian premiere of Eno's play. Praised by the New York Times for its 'screwball lyricism', it's a show that gets to the heart of everyday hopes, fears and anxieties with a wry, macabre sense of humour. The cast consists of Red Stitch regulars Jordan Fraser-Trumble and Christina O’Neill alongside guest actors Evelyn Krape, Gareth Reeves, Edwina Samuels and James Wardlaw. Alice Darling will direct, having previously helmed the company's productions of Belleville and This Year's Ashes.
