From the producer of the 5-star sell-out season of Albion at Seymour Centre, and winners of Best Independent Production at the 2022 Sydney Theatre Awards, comes the Sydney premiere of Australian hit The Ghost Writer by Ross Mueller.
When her child is murdered, Brihanna wants the killer publicly exposed – in a best selling novel. But for the truth to be told, she needs a ‘ghost’ to write it. Follow the interlocking lives of Brihanna, her ghostwriter Claudia, Claudia’s lover, and her publisher father, all of whom are affected by the young child’s murder. As each searches for the truth, they are haunted by the past.
The Ghost Writer is a compelling tale by award-winning Australian playwright, Ross Mueller.
