VENUE
Holden St Theatres
34 Holden Street
Hindmarsh

FAMILY SECRETS, REINVENTION & THE ALLURE OF A DOCTRINE.

Meet SUV driving, pedigree dog owning, mother of twins, Phillipa. Her daughter’s mental health requires intensive monitoring, husband’s ego constant stroking and she is forever reminded of her estranged Evangelical mother. Along comes Marcus, a devout born-again Buddhist, who brings with him the promise of new beginnings – if only her past would stop getting in the way. “Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”

The Middle Way is a new and evocative play written by Lucy Combe and directed by Samantha Riley.

NEW THEATRICAL WORKS BY LOCAL WRITERS ARE ALWAYS A WELCOME COMMODITY… ESPECIALLY WHEN A PLAY AS FINE AS ‘THE MIDDLE WAY’ MAKES IT TO THE STAGE…IT IS A STRONG AND HIGHLY SATISFYING WORK.
