Rough Draft #24: Two Jews Walk Into a Theatre

Overview

Take a sneak peek into the world of the Sydney Theatre Company's latest bunch of creative mavericks with Rough Draft. The program has benefits for everyone: invaluable week-long developments for artists, free entertainment for us once the masterpiece-in-the-making has a public showing. Expect to see fragments of scenes-in-progress, experimentation with new ideas and some intense discussion and debate: it's all in a day's work at the theatre.

At the next Rough Draft on Friday, May 9, writers Gideon Obarzanek and Brian Lipson showcase brand new work Two Jews Walk Into a Theatre. They'll both be playing their own fathers, who, while waiting in a theatre foyer, strike up a conversation. In collaboration with choreographer and theatre director Lucy Guerin, Obarzanek and Lipson will be fleshing out what they've described as 'an unabashedly subjective character study'.
