EUREKA DAY

Critic’s Pick: “The perfect play for our age of disagreement.” - New York Times

Screamingly funny and wildly topical, Eureka Day lasers in on the poverty of modern discourse and our inability to listen to those with whom we disagree.

It's 2019 and Eureka Day, a private primary school in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, gender identity, social justice. The parents on the Executive Committee value inclusion above all else - until a mumps outbreak forces a rethink of the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise and polite debate descends into ideological warfare, the school leadership are forced to confront one of our era’s defining questions: How do you build consensus, when no one can agree on the facts?

A smash hit on Broadway and the West End, this “gaspingly funny” (New York Magazine) gem is sure to have Sydney audiences laughing and arguing in equal measure.

Auslan Performances
In 2025, Seymour Centre is offering Auslan interpretation for select performances of Glass Child (Friday 11 April) and Eureka Day (Wednesday 4 June). During these performances, one or two interpreters are positioned side-stage, relaying the dialogue spoken by the actors, into sign language in real time.

For each Auslan performance, seats are reserved for users of this service to ensure a good view of the interpreter and the stage. If you wish to be seated in this area for these performances, please contact our Box Office on 02 7255 1561 or boxoffice@seymour.sydney.edu.au.
