Fury

(Sydney Theatre Company)

The Sydney Theatre Company is staging 'Fury', a new play by Joanna Murray-Smith.

A couple, she a scientist about to be awarded a major international prize, he a renowned artist, find their beliefs and past tested when their schoolboy son is accused of responsibility for racist graffiti.

This modern piece is packed with ideas such that Cs and I debated for hours afterwards the intended main message of the playwright. The fact that we were moved to discuss the work to that extent suggests a play with plenty of ideas even if they are fragmented to the point we couldn't reach a conclusion on our assessments of it.

This production is enhanced by some fine acting.
