Alice Tovey: Glass Houses
Thursday 15 May from 9:30pm to 10:30pm Friday 16 May from 9:30pm to 10:30pm
Alice Tovey's latest critically acclaimed hour comes to the Sydney Comedy Festival.
Just before her wedding, Alice’s father returned home from prison. Glass Houses is a love letter to family, showing us that love conquers all – even the prison industrial complex. Through stand-up, stories and original song, Alice Tovey tells the story of a cancelled wedding, budgies, a diagnosis and a chef in a show about learning our parents are human, and choosing empathy over isolation.
Written and performed by Alice Tovey | Directed by Gen Fricker
