Ruben Guthrie by Brendan Cowell
National University Theatre Society presents
Ruben Guthrie by Brendan Cowell

22 May 2013 to 25 May 2013

Ruben Guthrie is on fire. He’s the Creative Director of a cutting-edge advertising agency, he’s engaged to a Czech supermodel and Sydney is his oyster. He pours himself a drink to celebrate, a drink to work, a drink to sleep and one night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly.


Ruben Guthrie is a brutally honest comedy about confronting and accepting change, spiralling high, crashing hard and the role of alcohol in Australian society.
