Georgie Parker plays in a play about a writer’s room that is planning a classic TV soap death.
No, A national practice doesn’t get a new play, but How to plot a hit in two days We are certainly inspired by the play -and in particular the famous death of Molly (Anne Tenney).
George Parker will play the leading role in the ensemble theater game written by Melanie Tait, next to Amy Ingram, Genevieve Lemon, Seán O’Shea and Julia Robertson.
It’s all about the writer’s room of a TV soap. Very meta!
This will play from August 29 – October 11 in Kirribilli.
