OBSERVER: Berlin
Joanna Murray-Smith’s Berlin returns to Melbourne from February 27 to March 6 at the Meat Market, North Melbourne.
Directed by Erica Chestnut and starring Georgia Latchford and Lachlan Hamill, the romantic thriller by one of Australia’s most renowned playwrights tells of a chance encounter in a Berlin bar which sparks a late-night connection between Tom, an Australian abroad, and Charlotte, a local stranger. But as their flirtations evolve into something deeper, long-buried secrets begin to surface, setting the stage for a heart-stopping journey.
Produced by Little Life Productions, the provocative play explores the complex intersection of passion and the past.
Audiences are asked to prepare for a night of suspense, heartbreak, and unexpected twists, as two actors go head-to-head in a theatrical showdown questioning whether love can truly survive the weight of history.
“Berlin is a romantic thriller that pits the devastating shadow of history against the dazzling promise of true love,” said producer and performer Lachlan Hamill.
Berlin will play a strictly limited season at Meat Market, North Melbourne, from February 27 to March 6. The show runs for 90 minutes without intermission.
Tickets for Berlin start at $40 plus booking fee, and are now on sale. Bookings: events.humanitix.com/berlin
