MKA: Theatre of New Writing presents The Trouble with Harry
Secret lives, secret deaths – how well can you really know the neighbours?
Harry Crawford seems an ordinary, decent bloke to the neighbours. He and wife Annie are bringing up a boy and they all seem happy enough… until a strange girl comes knocking. Then the trouble begins. But how does it end in murder? And the revelation of something even more shocking?
The Trouble with Harry written by Lachlan Philpott rips back the curtains on the case of Eugenia Falleni, aka Harry Crawford, the notorious 'Man-Woman’ murderer of 1920s Sydney. Challenging the notion of the innocent woman duped, this new large-scale production examines concepts of perversion and complicity, of secret lives and secret deaths.
