The Motherf**ker with the Hat

Overview

Darlinghurst’s TAP Gallery welcomes back the Workhorse Theatre Co with their second ever production, Stephen Adly Guirgis's 2011 play, The Motherf***ker with the Hat.

The play enjoyed one of those critically acclaimed-box-office-disappointment runs in New York but managed to pick up a Tony nomination for Best Play in 2011. Guirgis teases his audience through questions of fidelity and addiction centring on high-school sweethearts Jackie and Veronica, Jackie’s sponsor Ralph D and the hat that should not be in Veronica's bed. So, Shakespearean farce meets the dark years of Robert Downey Jr? Awesome. Plus the Workhorse Theatre Co's first production That Pretty Pretty; Or, The Rape Play made a bit of a splash last year, announcing their arrival as a subversive new voice worthy of your attention.

So if you feel like seeing something fresh or potentially risk-taking or maybe just something without Toby Schmitz in it, head down to the TAP and catch The Motherf**ker in the Hat.
