THE VISITORS Will Embark on Australian Tour

Moogahlin Performing Arts and Sydney Theatre Company will present the national regional tour of Jane Harrison's critically acclaimed play, The Visitors, directed by the celebrated Quandamooka man Wesley Enoch.  Fresh from its triumph at the 2023 Sydney Theatre Awards, where it won Best Mainstage Production and Best Ensemble, The Visitors will tour across Australia and to regional areas from July to September 2024.

The Visitors is set on a sweltering day in January 1788, as seven clan leaders gather on a sandstone escarpment overlooking the harbour. These leaders—six Elders and one new initiate—catch up, laugh, share a meal, and compare notes. Amidst the friendly banter and hospitality, they face a momentous decision as a mysterious fleet of giant nawi amasses in the harbour. The seven representatives must choose unanimously whether to send these strangers on their way or welcome them.

Co-produced by Moogahlin Performing Arts and Sydney Theatre Company, The Visitors is a riveting, deeply researched insight into one of the most impactful and painful days in Australia’s history. It also offers a hugely entertaining study of how communities respond to change and the unknown.
