synopsis

It is 18 years since Alison Stanhope, the country's foremost poet, died. Now the house she lived in must be sold, but it holds secrets. Does the private life of a public figure belong to the world? It is a question of our time, yet Alison’s House, a play from 1930 set on New Year’s Eve in 1899, starts with this very question.

all the lead performances are strong and memorable, but special mention to Tasha O’Brien (Ann the secretary) Sydney Arts Guide

Tasha O’Brien was incredibly authentic and natural as the secretary Ann The AU Review

it's interesting to watch a play that reminds us of what separates us from our past and what connects us Sydney Scoop

a fantastic ensemble cast The Buzz From Sydney
