Hotel Sorrento
19 February – 14 March 2026
Ad Astra Pluto Theatre, Petrie Terrace
Three sisters reunite after being estranged for 10 years. What could possibly go wrong? Hotel Sorrento by Hannie Rayson tells the story of Pippa, Hilary and Meg, and their unresolved family secrets. This Ad Astra production will be directed by Susan O’Toole-Cridland.
While Hilary remained in the family home, Pippa is now a successful New York businesswoman, and Meg a writer in the UK – and her new semi-autobiographical novel is attracting unwelcome attention to the family’s private lives, making for a volatile reunion. The sisters’ personal longing for a sense of home in the coastal town of Sorrento also reflects Australia’s wider search for cultural identity in this award-winning modern Australian classic.
This play is suitable for audiences aged 16+
