MARTYR (SOLD OUT)
Benjamin is refusing to participate in swimming. He’s driving his Mum crazy. His teachers are at the limit. In this secular high school, all hell is about to break loose.
A provocative text by one of Germany’s leading playwrights, Martyr is a wickedly funny work about a teenage boy who embraces religious fundamentalism. In this energetic new production by UOW students, Mayenburg’s text becomes a laboratory for the study of today’s most pressing social issues.
Warnings: Use of explicit and offensive language, strobing lights, partial nudity, religious themes, representations of violence and sexual themes.
