SYDNEY IN THE SEVENTIES. MISFITS, VISIONARIES, AND HOW LOVE FINDS A WAY.

In a street out the back of the Cross is a very special place – the Wayside Chapel. It’s a haven for the poor, the excluded, the misfits. It’s a place of faith and a place of love. And it’s a place where people could declare their love – even when the rest of the world has turned you away.

WAYSIDE BRIDE | 2 APR – 29 MAY 2022
By Alana Valentine
Co-Directed by Hannah Goodwin and Eamon Flack

Wayside Bride is presented as part of our first-ever repertory season – two different plays performed by the same cast, on the same set, in alternating performances – with Caryl Churchill’s Light Shining in Buckinghamshire. Together they present a big picture and a local picture of the age-old struggle for a fairer society. Find out more about the Rep Season.
