After a successful debut run in New York, Sydney-based theatre company, Powersuit Productions is bringing their brand-new Australian work home this year, to tour across New Zealand and Australia.
Upcoming playwright, Laura Jackson has penned a touching and relevant two-hander play called The Culture. Set in Sydney Australia, it's story of deep and enduring friendship, and the pitfalls… and sometimes dangers of finding love in a modern world.
