Ad Astra is delighted to announce a World Premiere from our beloved Australian Playwright David Williamson. ""How to Survive a Happy Childhood"" is about intergenerational wealth and the conflicts it generates. While Baby Boomers are hoarding, Gen X can find it difficult to buy a house. Our female protagonist is a University student whose controlling grandparents are wealthy and whose parents are struggling artists.
Events leading up to Stephen Vagg’s new play The First Night (of ‘The One Day of the Year’) are a snapshot of conservative Australian culture at the tail end of the 1950s.
