Strangers in Between

An unflinching and constantly surprising drama about how we make sense of who we are through our often fraught relations with others. Winner of the Best Play Award at the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Awards.

Shane, sixteen and scared shitless, has fled small-town Australia for downtown Sydney. Adrift among the lonely hearts and heady thrills of Darlinghurst Road, Shane attempts to navigate the troubled waters of his past toward a brighter future.

Tommy Murphy’s Strangers in Between was first performed by Griffin Theatre Company in Sydney in 2005, and received its UK premiere at the King’s Head Theatre, London, in 2016, directed by Adam Spreadbury-Maher.
