Tim at Merrigong Theatre Company

Merrigong Theatre Company and Christine Dunstan productions will present TIM, at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre 16 – 19 August as part of its premiere regional tour.

TIM a novel written by Australian icon Colleen McCullough and has been sensitively adapted for the stage by acclaimed playwright Tim McGarry.

An unorthodox relationship develops between Mary, a career-driven business executive in her mid-50s, and Tim, a handsome 25-year-old labourer with a mild intellectual disability. Tim has grown up in a small but loving, working-class family who have tried to shelter him from the cruelness of the world. What begins as a chance meeting between them, soon develops into a life-changing relationship with shattering consequences.

The lighting and sound for all performances of Tim has been carefully designed to not cause any distress to patrons who are living with sensory sensitivities or on the Autism spectrum.

Sat 19 Aug, 1.30pm performance will have a tactile tour, and captioning/Audio Description service for the benefit of patrons who are d/Deaf or have low or no vision.
