Fresh from its critically acclaimed debut season in New York City, Ensemble Theatre is thrilled

to present the Australian premiere of Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, Primary

Trust from 19th June to 12th July.

 

Directed by Darren Yap (Clyde’s, The One) and featuring a stellar cast of four including Charles

Allen (Clyde’s, Griffin Theatre’s A Hoax), Peter Kowitz (Rough Justice, The Deal), Angela

Mahlatjie (Debut, STC’s The Dictionary of Lost Words) and Albert Mwangi (Mr Bailey’s

Minder), Primary Trust is an uplifting, offbeat story about finding the courage to change.

 

Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping a mai tai (or

two) with his best friend Bert. When a sudden layoff shatters his routine, Kenneth is forced

to turn the page and embark on a new chapter of self-discovery. Will Bert stick around for the

journey?
