Pub Plays

Overview

The Old Fitzroy Hotel is unique among Sydney pubs in having a theatre in its bowels. And it's not just any old theatre, but one of the city's best in programming independent productions from up-and-comers and experimenters, through its resident company, the Tamarama Rock Surfers.

Now for its many artists, fans, and those who just love any excuse for Sunday beers, the Rock Surfers are extending an invitation to Pub Plays, a fortnightly series of script-in-hand readings of classic Australian plays that have been too long hidden from light. It's a great tack for a scene where new scripts can find roads to their premiere but not often their reprise.

The gatherings will be looking for new insights from these older stories, with the insightfulness helped along by a few jugs. The first reading, on September 30, will be of Eunice Hanger's Flood and directed by John Kachoyan.
