HIT Productions Presents MANAGING CARMEN at The Coopers Malthouse, Now thru 5/31

Sports Manager Rohan Swift needs to uncover what is troubling his star player. Brent Lyall is at the top of his game and should be on top of the world: captain of the most powerful football club in Australia, he has two medals and a beautiful girlfriend on his arm; but something is holding him back from being the charismatic hero the public and his sponsors expect. Brent hides a secret obsession that will rock the nation.

Off the field, Brent prefers a pair of Manolo Blahniks to footy boots... plus his alter ego 'Carmen' is about to go public. With millions at stake from endorsement deals, ruthless Rohan will do anything to stop sleazy tabloid predator Max Upfield from exposing Brent's private fetish to the fickle football-fanatic public.

Acclaimed Australian playwright and National Living Treasure David Williamson delivers another hilarious football story - this time, with a twist. In spectacular form, Managing Carmen takes a satirical look at the characters behind the nation's favourite sport.

Managing Carmen will run today 28 May at 7.30pm, Thursday 29 May at 7.30pm, Friday 30 May at 7.30pm, and Saturday 31 May at 2pm and 7.30pm at the Tower Theatre at The Coopers Malthouse, 113 Sturt Street, Southbank, VIC 3006.

Managing Carmen is directed by Denis Moore. The cast features Jamieson Caldwell, Brandon Burke, Hannah Norris, Trent Baker, and Annie Last.
