Sydney Theatre Company: Bennelong In London
20 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Both travel back to the 1780s where Bennelong, now a young Wangal man, is abducted by Governor Phillip. Bennelong becomes his go-between with the Eora people and later, the first Aboriginal man to visit Europe and return. And the eventual husband of a woman called Barangaroo.
Jane Harrison, the singular voice behind the award-winning The Visitors and Stolen reunites with “the most exciting new director of this generation” (Limelight), Ian Michael, to depict this time-bending conversation and burgeoning friendship between two First Nations men seeking to understand each other, themselves and the art of auditioning along the way.
