Set in a sweltering 1980s Sydney, Candy follows the intense and tragic relationship between Dan (Ed McVey, Prince William in Netflix’s The Crown) and Candy (Freya James, Candy, in Candy 2024).
Their romance burns quickly, and their desire for transcendence drives them to heroin.
Blending physical theatre with stark narrative realism, the play explores the intimate fallout of addiction, trauma and unconditional love.
