ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS
A Dangerous Comedy About Not Going Quietly
May 15 to June 2 - Chapel Off Chapel, Prahran
This timely and thought-provoking black comedy explores the polarising power of social media, antisemitism, and the minefield of identity politics.
​
The play centres around esteemed artistic director Ira Brot, who in six short years has transformed a small, struggling theatre company into an international sensation. Ira has the world at his feet - money, influence, and creative freedom – but one little tweet threatens to derail his perfect life.
​
Add to this his Jewish convert wife, a vaguely antisemitic theatre company Chairperson and an ambitious assistant director waiting in the wings, and you have the ingredients for the oldest of all culture wars, played out on a modern stage. Ira must also deal with a complex relationship with his mother who, although long dead, is alive and kvetching inside his head.
