Australian Open
8 – 18 January 2025
PIP Theatre, Milton
PIP Theatre launches its 2025 season with 7th Floor Theatre’s production of Angus Cameron’s Australian Open. This sharp and fast-paced exploration of wits and relationships will take centre court starring Sandro Colarelli, Lisa Hickey, Whitney Duff, Tye Shepherd and Jackson Paul.
It’s Felix’s 31st birthday, but all his parents want to talk about over dinner is his boyfriend Lucas’ loss to Rodger Federer. That is until Felix mentions that he and Lucas plan to continue their open relationship even if they decide to get married – a backhand smash that kicks off a debauched game of doubles. It’s a quirky, contemporary comedy of manners that serves up plenty of laughs and surprises.
7th Floor Artistic Director Hayden Burke said he is proud to give local artists and community agency for creativity:
“Australian Open is a hilarious ensemble piece, using evocative, witty dialogue to challenge societal norms whilst championing queer culture. At 7th Floor Theatre, we are GGG: good, giving and game to make you gasp, grunt and giggle.”
“Australian Open is the seventh production that has evolved from our highly successful Pot Luck Plays initiative, a unique, moved weekly play reading experience where actors and audience discover the play at the same time. Conceived and run in Melbourne for its inaugural year, Pot Luck Plays has just finished its second year in Brisbane. 7th Floor Theatre has been bringing together local actors, playwrights and audiences in a supportive setting since 2019. We are thrilled to be working on our next production for a Queensland audience.”
