THE ARCHITECT
Location
About
The Architect is a moving and thought-provoking Australian play that highlights the solace we take in moments of unexpected joy whilst navigating the politics and emotions that come with confronting the end of life.
Hiring a temporary carer requires some serious vetting, and when Helen’s partner John heads off on a brief overseas trip she concedes to the arrangement by appointing the least likely candidate: Lennie, a dubious young drifter and jack-of-all-trades. With an incorrigible zest for life, he could be just the medicine she needs – if it wasn’t for the monumental secret he’s hiding. As their disparate worlds collide, an unexpected bond forms, and Helen turns to Lennie to help face her reality.
**CONTENT WARNING**
*The Architect* contains mature themes relating to death, dying and the desire to end one’s life. The play includes a confronting scene so audience discretion is advised.
