What happens when we see real events and meet well-known people on stage? How can the theatre shape our sense of our own history? Those questions are raised by a new Australian play called Sunday. It features a knockout performance from Nikki Shiels as the famous Australian arts patron Sunday Reed. Also, Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage is renowned for her incisive, moving and witty plays about the intersections of race and class in America. The playwright joins us to reflect on her storied career and how her work taps into larger political conversations. This year, the Sydney Theatre Company will stage her play Sweat.
