Kenny runs 15 January – 7 February 2021.
KENNY, the much-loved film which has now been adapted for the stage, will open at Ensemble Theatre on January 15 as part of the Sydney Festival. The play, a World Premiere, has been adapted by Steve Rodgers.
Ensemble Theatre's Artistic Director, Mark Kilmurry, who is also directing KENNY said "we are delighted this play is an Ensemble Theatre commission and part of the Sydney Festival. I was thrilled when Clayton Jacobson gave his permission to adapt for the stage as KENNY is close to many people's hearts. KENNY is the fearless Aussie plumber who looks for the best in every situation. I am thrilled to be working with Ben Wood who will play the irreverent and self-deprecating Kenny and delighted Stevie Rodgers said yes to adapting the script for the stage. It is very exciting to be opening our theatre doors with such an iconic and well -loved character.' When your work can't get any lower your expectations can only soar. A knight in shining overalls, Kenny is proud of his work, despite his Dad's harsh judgements and the ignorant members of the public who take him for granted. In this classic riff on decency, Kenny's off-beat humour and wide-eyed wonder at life's possibilities are an inspirational reminder that all that glitters is not necessarily gold...Kenny runs 15 January - 7 February 2021.
