American Song
QUT Gardens Theatre
AMERICAN SONG HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT'S COVID-19 HEALTH DIRECTIVES.
The critically-acclaimed production of American Song by one of Australia's most prolific playwrights, Joanna Murray-Smith, is coming to QUT Gardens Theatre from March 20 to 21.
Directed by Tom Healey (The Spook, The Shape of Things), American Song stars Joe Petruzzi (Mambo Kings, The Devil’s Playground, Jurassica) in a reprisal of his provocative and profound solo performance as Andy.
Andy’s experience is common to many of us. The slow accumulation of a good life: love, work, friendship, family. But, unforeseen events lead him to places he never imagined.
As Andy heads off to work to give the biggest presentation of his career, he wishes his teenage son, Robbie, goodbye. Eight hours later, everything has changed.
American Song reaches beyond national or cultural borders in an intimate exploration of parenting, love and the question, ‘what could I have done differently?’.
Playwright Murray-Smith, who has written over 20 plays performed internationally by actors like Meryl Streep and Sam Waterford, describes American Song as “the best thing she’s ever written” and is the play she’s most proud of.
Don't miss this profoundly powerful production when it comes to Brisbane!
