Transparency

Presented by Seymour Centre in association with Riverside Productions

"Compelling and thought-provoking... an important work" The Australian

"Brave and clearly brilliant" Sunday Telegraph

In the countdown to Christmas the disappearance of a young boy rocks a small town and sets off a chain of events that will alter the lives of everyone involved. For Simon, the world he had built here was a second chance; in the eyes of the law he had paid for his mistake. Given a new identity, new history and a single confidante, he successfully buried his past; even from Jessica, the woman he loves. But will events force Simon to step outside the prison which he is living and does the community have the right to know who he really is?

This powerfully written and thought-provoking play was the recipient of the Kit Denton award for brave and courageous writing in 2009. Following an acclaimed production at the Belfast Festival with the prestigious Ransom Theatre Company, Transparency will have its Australian Premiere in Sydney this September at the Seymour Centre.

Starring Glenn Hazeldine (Pig Iron People, Tuesdays with Morrie), Amy Mathews (Home and Away), Celia Ireland (All Saints and Australian Rules), Anna Lise Phillips (Animal Kingdom and When The Rain Stops Falling) and Ed Wightman (As You Like It and The Comedy of Errors).

"A multi-layered, uncompromisingly provocative play about how an individual existence can be changed beyond recognition or repair by a single dreadful deed." Irish Times
