Sydney Theatre Company presents
FURY
A new play by Joanna Murray-Smith

Joanna Murray-Smith returns to Sydney Theatre Company with this powerful new work.

Welcome to the charming inner city life of Alice (Sarah Peirse) and Patrick (Robert Menzies), successful professionals who after twenty-odd years of marriage still adore each other. They enjoy their status in the intelligentsia, their home, literary success and, most importantly, bringing up their son Joe together. When Joe is accused of an inflammatory act, secrets from Alice's past emerge and suddenly the safe, politically-correct world they've built around themselves blows apart.

In this brilliant play of ideas Murray-Smith deftly examines generational differences, wrong versus right, and the difference between protest and terrorism. All this with the lightness of touch and dexterity of dialogue that has made her one of Australia's most performed playwrights, both at home and overseas.

Fury is a play about the people who live next door to you: their concerns, their ideologies and, most poignantly, their yearning for redemption.

Warning! Coarse language.

This production is supported by the STC Chairman's Council.
