Director Matthew Lutton (Antigone, The Duel) premieres one of Australia's most audacious new plays. In a dreamed-up version of the Australian backyard, five actors tease out the story of a father and daughter. By the end of the story, their dream of modern life has been engulfed in fire, and a tale of pure love has become a searing tragedy of leadership and sacrifice.

Inspired by Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis and written by one of the country's most original young writers, Love Me Tender is a thrilling vision of contemporary Australia drawn from our experiences of the Black Saturday bushfires, raunch culture and domestic dreaming.

'Matthew Lutton is fast establishing his reputation as one of Australian theatre's most exceptional talents.' WA Today
