PRODUCTION INFORMATION
A searing comedy on show business post-#MeToo that brilliantly captures the confusion of ‘woke’ men trying to mansplain their positions of power.
A talented young female writer, an A-list actor and an ambitious West End director meet to discuss the most important new play of the decade – if they can only agree on what it’s about! Fragile egos, the fault lines of modern politics and the all-pervasive power of Hollywood threatens to derail the whole project.

“It’s a triumph of dramatic intelligence and some of the best acting you’ll see in Melbourne this year.”
★★★★★
– Herald Sun -
“Brett Cousins directs a strong cast. No one escapes unscathed from Ireland’s vicious satire, and the actors take to it with exceptional relish.”
★★★★
- The Age -
“…body-slamming and near-flawless new production…”
