★★★★★ "I encourage everyone to see this incredible play. Allow yourself to become immersed in the music, and revel in brilliant writing and outstanding acting." THEATRE MATTERS

Why is there a stack of The Sacred Harp, 1991 Editions in the toilet?

Tup lived and breathed every hymn on every page of her Sacred Harp book. At a mass sing, she couldn’t be outsung. These days, Tup struggles to button-up her cardy and put names to faces, she is in combat with her daughter Alison about who is the parent, and cannot keep up with her non-binary grandchild Billie. All Tup knows is… when in doubt, sing loud.
 

Featuring a live choir and original songs by Ro Bright (Daffodils) and Pat Irwin (SUSS, The B-52’s), this ceremonious and candid story about unconditional love and the power of community features stage luminary Jennifer Vuletic (Wentworth, Looking for Alibrandi) with direction by Kitan Petkovski (The Inheritance). 

Supported by the City if Melbourne Arts Grants.
