See your life flashing before your eyes! And share it!
Sydney’s most unique impro theatre show clocks up the final performance of its record-breaking 25th straight year. The November performance of Playback at Newtown Theatre is themed around how life can change from one moment to the next.
The multi-talented actors of Playback Theatre take the real stories of audience members and turn them into live theatre - with all the laughter, tears, bathos and pathos they can muster!
It’s improvisation like you've never imagined - a unique collaboration between audience, performers and musicians. And each performance is a one-off, created in the moment for a single audience to enjoy.
Playback Theatre Sydney have delighted Australian audiences for 25 years. Pioneered by Jonathan Fox in New York in 1975, Playback exists now in more than 40 countries – and Sydney’s show is the longest running in the Southern Hemisphere. In theatre performances, workshops and corporate shows, Playback is truly unique. An artform that requires intensive listening skills, group work, trust and dedication, its highly-trained actors draw on music, dance, physical theatre, mime, improv and Greek chorus skills. What they create is a thrill that exists in the moment… but whose magic will be with you long after the lights come up!
Says Playback’s Johanna de Ruyter: “Come and watch - and dare to tell your own story. Together we’ll go on a journey to the depths - and heights - of our collective history!”
Playback's public performances - with a new theme each time - take place 8pm the last Sunday of each month at Newtown Theatre.
The last for 2007 - "In the Blink of an Eye” - is on Sunday November 25 at 8pm.
Newtown Theatre, Cnr Bray and Kings Streets, Newtown
Tickets $20 / $17 at the door.
