Double bill of Australian plays

Peckham's Bussey Building is to host a double bill of Australian plays Holiday and The Eisteddfod, both UK premières.

Both are by contemporary playwrights and are to be directed by Abbey Wright (Mrs Lowry & Son at Trafalgar Studios) with performances from 14 May.

Speaking about the plays, Abbey Wright said, “I feel there’s a lot of very interesting writing coming out of Australia at the moment, and much of it isn’t performed here in the UK.

"I wanted to share with audiences two works that I believe to be truly original in the inspiring environment of the Bussey Building.”

Contemplative play Holiday won its writer Raimondo Cortese the Green Room Award for Best Australian Writing whist Lally Katz's The Eisteddfod is a poetic farce.
