Malthouse Theatre presents
Stay Woke

26 Mar 2022 to 17 Apr 2022

A play about two brothers, Niv and Sai, heading to the mountains to bury the hatchet on a lifelong rivalry.

Big brother Niv has gone vegan. He’s madly in love, he's starting his own business, and seems to have finally found himself after years as the black sheep of the family. In an attempt to reconcile their differences, Niv invites golden child Sai and his new girlfriend Kate on a ski trip where they can put the past aside for the sake of family. But when party banter turns political, Kate stumbles into a minefield, and finds herself the focal point of an all-out war.

This original comedy by Aran Thangaratnam stars Green Room Award-winning Dushan Phillips (Red Stitch Actors' Ensemble) and newcomer Kaivu Suvarna. Funny and feisty, it's all about the bitter warfare behind brotherly love.

★★★★ "This sharp, authentic comedy gives Australia’s woke generation a voice” — The Age

★★★★ “A crowd-pleasing ripper” — TimeOut

“Humorous, thought-provoking theatre” — Limelight
