The Man In The Attic

The Australian premiere of The Man In The Attic written by one of Australia's most internationally-produced playwrights will be staged at the Eternity Playhouse in Darlinghurst, from Thursday 5 to Sunday 22 July 2018.
 
The Man in the Attic is the incredible, true story of a Jew who is hidden by a German couple during the Holocaust, but when the War ends, is led to believe that the War had been won... by the Nazis.
 
Locked inside their attic for his protection, the Jew has no way of knowing and continues his trade as a jeweller and watch-maker, for the profit of the couple. But as the husband overplays his hand and the wife becomes trapped in a conflict between greed and humanity, the Jew realises that something has changed...
 
The Man in the Attic was awarded Australia's most prestigious award for a new play, the Patrick White Playwrights' Award. It received a Paris season in February 2012 and had a sold-out season at the 2013 Festival of Avignon as well as an extra season at Paris's Théâtre de l'Est.  The production made its Italian premiere in December 2015.
 
World class Director Moira Blumenthal has assembled an amazing cast and crew to bring this premiere production to the stage including Barry French, Danielle King, Gus Murray and Colleen Cook.  Set & costume design is by Hugh O'Connor, Lighting design Emma Lockhart-Wilson and sound design Tegan Nichols.
