Emerald City plays at Ensemble Theatre
Sydney’s art scene. To thrive in the creative industry, it’s a balancing act of cultural identity, ambition, and compromise. That’s the story behind the iconic satire of Emerald City by playwright David Williamson.
Emerald City premiered in the 1980s with rapid-fire wit, and now it begs the question, “Did much change with Sydney’s art scene?”
It’s back on stage with Mark Kilmurry at the helm, telling the story of passion, rivalries, commercial pressure, artistic integrity, and the lure of success in Sydney’s art scene. Cast member Matt Minto has a chat with Danny Chifley on the Breakfast Show
When: 18 July – 23 August 2025
