Ensemble Theatre is presenting a play reading of Tommy Murphy’s latest work, The Desirables. This is your chance to hear a new Australian script, read by a talented cast. Afterwards, take the opportunity to ask the writer, actors, director and other creative minds questions or share your experience with them.
The Desirables is the story of an aspiring young lawyer who smuggles members of a visiting Afghan soccer team into her mother’s house. The comforts of home are shaken. The law comes knocking. Deceits pile up. Hidden agendas and broken efforts to express love culminate in disaster. Finally there is nowhere to run. There are no simple answers – as our current political debate suggests – and this play offers up the quandaries of the price and the prize of charity.
