Sydney: Big hART’s 'Namatjira'

Namatjira 

Upstairs Theatre at Belvoir Street 

until November 7

www.belvoir.com.au


This piece of 'community theatre', about the early 20th century Aboriginal painter Albert Namatjira, transcends the genre, delivering an intimate spectacle with heart, soul, humour and profundity in equal measure. It's effectively a 2-hander and Trevor Jamieson and Derek Wyatt are both compelling in their multiple roles. See it if you can. The Sydney season is nearly sold out but an extension and wider tour is likely.
