2020 Shows! 

Mad Sisters | 19 March - 4 April 2020
The new hit comedy by Devon Williamson

Daphne adores her sister Anne. To Daphne, Anne is beautiful, successful and smart - all the things Daphne longs to be. Anne on the other hand wants nothing to do with her sister and is intent on working her way into a small clique of indulgent and pretentious wealthy women. When Daphne's wacky friends convince her she can be like Anne if she tries, Daphne sets off on a madcap adventure to do the impossible and win her sister’s acceptance.
Mad Sisters is an uplifting and joyful comic romp that reminds us just how wonderful and truly mad our sisters can be.
