Here Lies Henry

Henry seems a little on edge. He is a man with a mission to tell us something we don't already know. But who is Henry and why does he have such a compulsive aversion to the truth?

 

Here Lies Henry challenges the conventional relationship between actor and audience and spins it completely on its head in a powerful exploration of purpose and humanity.

 

Canadian playwright Daniel MacIvor defies traditional narrative structure, describing the play as “experimental and experiential. The narrative varies for each person who experiences its elements.”

Directed by Sydney Theatre Award nominee Jason Langley, ‘Henry’ is embodied by well-known Sydney actor Matthew Hyde.

 

Provocative and uncompromising, this compelling comedy/drama about life, love, lies and the body in the next room is as elusive as it is enlightening and as profound as it is laugh-out-loud funny. Henry is a great big tease and definitely the one to see.
