Meet George and Annie Steeper. He is an ex-premier. She is his brilliant wife. Together, with their two handsome sons (Sam Boneham and Matt Morrow), they present a picture of domestic bliss that has been winning George votes for years. Delve a bit deeper and dysfunction becomes an inadequate descriptor — George is sleeping with his son's girlfriend (Lauren Pegus) and Annie likes to yell at her husband. A lot. The feuding couple is played by real-life husband and wife, Sonia Todd (McLeod's Daughters) and Rhett Walton.
The Worst Kept Secrets is an original Australian play, written and directed by the young and talented Thomas De Angelis (Jack Killed Jack), and is brought to the Seymour Centre by Bontom Productions, a collaboration between De Angelis and actor Sam Boneham, that aims to bring clever, fresh works to life.
These guys are only doing six performances of the show, so if Aussie politics and family scandal is your thing (those things obviously go hand in hand, right?) get in quick.
