BROKEN by Mary Anne Butler Comes to Darlinghurst Theatre Company
In 2016, Darwin based writer Mary Anne Butler won both the drama and literature prizes with her play Broken and Darlinghurst Theatre Company is producing its Sydney premiere and first staging outside of the Northern Territory.
Broken is a haunting story of resilience and hope that taps straight into the heart of the Australian landscape. The play begins with a near fatal car crash on an isolated road in the Central Desert. Ash is trapped in her car and is rescued by a stranger and in that moment of life and death a bond is formed and worlds collide. Stunning in its lyricism and truths about life and love, Broken is provocative storytelling at its best.
Directed by leading director Shannon Murphy and featuring performers Ivan Donato, Sarah Enright and Rarriwuy Hick.
"This is exquisite writing. It's immediate. It's lean. It's poetic. It's visceral. It takes you right into the heart of the experiences it describes." Andrew Bovell
