Description

A secret. A murder. And a mangy old hen that cock-a-doodles in the morning and sets tongues wagging. The Trouble with Harry, by multi-award winning playwright Lachlan Philpott,rips back the curtains on the case of Eugenia Falleni, the notorious Man-Woman murderer of 1920s Sydney.

Reviews

This thoughtful, bittersweet play is a welcome addition to the canon of new writing currently emerging here - On the basis of this insightful creative collaboration, one can only hope that more of the same is in the offing. * Culture Northern Ireland *
Why can we not be our 'real' selves in public Why do we constantly dissimulate in both our social and personal relationships What is 'authentic' and unalterable in human nature, and what is up for negotiation The Trouble with Harry doesn't answer these questions definitively, but poses them with particular intelligence and acuity. * Irish Theatre Magazine *
