Led by Ensemble’s Artistic Director Mark Kilmurry (The Lover & The Dumb Waiter, The Great

Divide, Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall), and featuring an incredible cast of Ensemble

favourites including Danielle Carter (Boxing Day BBQ, The Norman Conquests), Rachel

Gordon (The Norman Conquests, Odd Man Out) and Matt Minto (Benefactors, Rhinestone

Rex), Emerald City explores the rivalries and compromises one must make in the pursuit of

fame and fortune.

 

Lately, critically acclaimed screenwriter Colin has had more box office bombs than smash-hit

sensations. Swapping the drizzly streets of Melbourne for the shimmering shores of Sydney

in pursuit of success, Colin discovers that the glitz and glamour of the Emerald City may be

more alluring than he first thought… power, influence and the top harbour views are glittering

at his fingertips, but what will he have to sacrifice?

 

With a newly refreshed script that brings a sharp, contemporary edge to the classic satire, Emerald City finds new resonance in today’s cultural landscape.

 

Abuzz with cutting-edge social criticism, don’t miss this timeless satire by one of Australia’s

most beloved commentators.
