“Red Stitch’s production is a well-staged, strongly-acted production which honours the text and, judging by the tears and stunned faces in the foyer after the show, has a profound effect on its audience.”

– Theatre People -

“[The production] grabs us by the neck and shakes us when Tommy confronts the grotesque misery of war.”

– Herald Sun -

We at Red Stitch acknowledge and pay our respects to Australia’s First Peoples and Elders past and present, and offer our gratitude to the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, on whose unceded lands we work.
