After five years of restorations to the 126-year-old heritage-listed building, the new Eternity Playhouse opens with Arthur Miller’s All My Sons this November.
Housed on the site of the former Baptist Tabernacle, the Playhouse is named after legendary Sydneysider Arthur Stace, or ‘Mr Eternity’, who was inspired to write his iconic chalk scrawlings following a sermon at the church.
Actor Andrew Henry, who plays Chris Keller in the Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s production, says the prospect of treading the Eternity’s boards for the very first time is “incredibly exciting”.
“I think it’s going to be a real treat for audiences who frequent Sydney theatres to be able to go to this new space and experience seeing a show somewhere they’ve never been before,” he says.
Set in 1947 across one day in the American mid-west, All My Sons presents a gripping story of a family grappling with a terrible secret.
“It’s wonderful to go in there, be immersed and absolutely surprised by where the day that’s presented to the audience takes them,” Henry says. (EJ)
