The Trouble with Harry is presented by graduating actors of Flinders University Drama Centre, South Australia’s leading actor training institution. It is an institution that encourages its students to take artistic risks; with this production, this ensemble has leaped into the deep end.

Kiara Skene (director) and Theo Warner (dramaturg) have built a show with a sensitivity and understanding that runs deep. The work they have done with Duffield, Itropico, Benveniste and Watts is clear from their performances. They handled the vitriol directed at Harry Crawford with care, not once allowing the audience to consider they or the production condoned such behaviour. Skene’s use of the outdoor venue, with the audience in two rows and on three sides of the performance space was skilful, utilising the garden and its paths to create both separation and intrusiveness.

The Trouble with Harry has 7 more performances; however, with 4 of those already sold out, I encourage you to get your tickets without delay. This is a queer story being presented by queer people through a queer lens. I can’t wait to see what they do next now that they’ve graduated.
