World Premiere

Katie doesn’t want a taste of the high life — she wants a seat at the table. When she invites elite Sydney power couple and art collecting heavyweights Charles (Andrew McFarlane) and Catherine Mallory over for dinner, Katie’s all in. She’s betting big on charm, fine wine and a jaw-dropping painting she’s hired to add a stroke of “wow” to the walls. She’s got one chance to climb the social ladder, and she’s not about to waste it.

As drinks flow and polite facades start to crack, the evening unravels into a night of lies, cover ups and social desperation.

With his signature satirical bite, David Williamson AO dissects the fragile performance of status - and the outrageous lengths we’ll go just to be seen.

  • Playwright: David Williamson AO
  • Director: Janine Watson
  • Cast includes: Mandy Bishop, Sarah Chadwick and Andrew McFarlane
