Top Silk

31 Jul 2026 to 12 Sep 2026

Ensemble Theatre presents the revival of David Williamson’s ‘Top Silk’, a razor-sharp exploration of the cut-throat world of the legal elite, from 31 July to 12 September 2026.

Directed by Ensemble’s Artistic Director Mark Kilmurry and starring Rachel Gordon and Nicholas Brown, ‘Top Silk’ continues Williamson’s signature satirical analysis of the public versus the private, this time setting his portrait of family life within the colourful world of the law.

For Jane Fredericks, the fight for justice is personal. As a passionate legal aid solicitor, Jane risks everything to help an old flame, and her world quickly unravels – both in the courtroom and at home. Her husband Trevor, a prominent barrister, faces his own ethical conundrum: defend a powerful media mogul to advance his career or protect his integrity.

‘Top Silk’ is David Williamson’s second offering in Ensemble’s 2026 season, following his sold-out The Social Ladder, which premiered earlier this year.

Pairing his trademark wit with Mark Kilmurry’s sharp direction, this is a clever satire from one of Australia’s greatest storytellers not to be missed.
