DEFEATING ROGER FEDERER Comes to New Theatre, Newtown
New Theatre, Newtown presents Defeating Roger Federer, a new musical by Wendy Lewis. It's a bold, provocative & darkly comedic two-hander with a talented cast fresh from last year's production of Nine at the Seymour Centre.
Defeating Roger Federer is the story of a straight white couple who sink to an all-time low as they reach for an all-time high.
Director Jane Eakin says: 'What drew me to this new musical was the sheer audacity of the material. It holds a mirror up to a society that is so hungry for success, it will cannibalise itself in every effort to achieve its goal.'
