Seymour Centre and Outhouse Theatre Co present
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.
