Return season presented by Red Line Productions
Howie The Rookie
by Mark O'Rowe
Directed by Toby Schmitz & Luke Cowling
"This production is one of the best pieces of indie theatre on Sydney stages'
– The Daily Review
The Howie Lee (Andrew Henry) gets dragged into a bizarre feud of honour involving a scabies-infested mattress against The Rookie Lee (Sean Hawkins), which spirals out of control and ends in his own personal tragedy. The Rookie has problems of his own: massively in debt to a terrifying gangland figure for killing his prized Siamese fighting fish, he steels himself for a hideous revenge, until he is championed from an unlikely quarter by his one-time enemy.

"More extravagant expenditure or auditorium capacity will not improve the colossal genius presented on this very special occasion."
– Suzy Go See
"Howie the Rookie is intelligently spare and beautifully performed, it is revealed as a rare feast of theatrical imagination. A short, sharp and shocking night that’s often brilliant."
– Jo Litson
