Belvoir Street Theatre - Director
Lee Lewis makes her
Company B debut, actor
Emily Barclay comes back to Belvoir St, and playwright
Polly Stenham's ferocious and moving play
That Face, is their task. Henry's dropped out of school, Mia's been expelled, Dad's in Hong Kong with a young new wife, and Mum's an alcoholic mess. That's where this remarkable play begins - ending in a thrilling showdown between destruction and regeneration.
That Face is Gen Y's revenge on the Baby Boomers. Stenham was 19 when she wrote this play and 20 when it wowed critics at London's acclaimed Royal Court Theatre in 2007. She's created a mesmerising eruption of humour and cruelty, wisdom and insolence. There's a touch of the classic about this play - the age-old battle between parents and their children to own the future.
Director Lee Lewis Cast Emily Barclay, Krew Boylan, Kenji Fitzgerald, Marcus Graham, Laura Hopkinson, Susie Porter
