Aidan Fennessy‘s The Architect is a moving and thought-provoking new work that highlights the solace we take in moments of unexpected joy whilst navigating the politics and emotions that come with confronting the end of life.
Hiring a temporary carer requires some serious vetting, and when Helen’s partner John heads off on a brief overseas trip she concedes to the arrangement by appointing the least likely candidate: Lennie, a dubious young drifter and jack-of-all-trades. With an incorrigible zest for life, he could be just the medicine she needs – if it wasn’t for the monumental secret he’s hiding. As their disparate worlds collide and an unexpected bond forms, Helen turns to Lennie to help face her reality.
PRODUCTION HISTORY: The Architect was first produced by Melbourne Theatre Company, premiering at the South Bank Theatre, The Sumner on September 27, 2018.
ISBN:978-1-76161-071-4
