BERLINERS - Two men float towards each other above the Berlin Wall set against a peach sunset sky. The man on the left has long brown hair, and wears double denim with a red turtleneck and Doc Marten boots. The man on the right has short brown hair, and wears a simple white button-down shirt with old fashioned brown pants.

MELBOURNE FRINGE TOURING AWARD WINNER

SYDNEY FRINGE BEST IN THEATRE NOMINEE

It’s 1987. The Cold War rages, Reagan rules and the Berlin Wall cuts through the heart of Germany—and the middle of Nick and Tom’s apartment.

Join Sydney’s “favourite absurdist comedy duo” in this alternate-history comedy about a struggling West German artist and an East German anchorman, forbidden to talk but fated to meet through a tiny crack in the wall that separates their countries (and living room).

As they grow closer, and the end of the Soviet Union grows nearer, will these star-crossed comrades build a relationship that lasts—or will they need the Wall to keep it standing?
