MTC’s new theatre - The Sumner Theatre - will have its long anticipated opening
with a new play by Matt Cameron and Tim Finn, starring Guy Pearce and directed
by Simon Phillips on Tuesday 27 January.
Poor Boy, which has been commissioned by MTC, is a play with songs about a boy
who announces on his seventh birthday that he is really a grown man who died
some years before.
Combining well-known and new songs by Tim Finn, Poor Boy is a supernatural
ghost story about loss, anguish and redemption.
Pearce plays the grown man Danny, with the other cast to include Matthew
Dyktynski, Sarah Peirse, Greg Stone and Sara Gleeson. Musical Director is Ian
McDonald, Designer Iain Aitken and Lighting Designer Nick Schlieper.
Poor Boy represents a return to the stage for Pearce who was last seen in MTC’s
production of Tennessee Williams’s Sweet Bird of Youth in 2002.
Pearce first came to international attention in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen
of the Desert (1994). He cemented a growing reputation in the noir thriller, LA
Confidential (1997) and then Memento (2000). His other film credits include
William Friedkin’s Rules of Engagement (2000), The Count of Monte Cristo (2001),
The Time Machine (2002), The Proposition (2005), Factory Girl (2006) and Death
Defying Acts (2007). His next screen appearance will be in the adaptation of
Cormac McCarthy’s best-seller The Road.
Presented by arrangement with Poor Boy Enterprises Pty Ltd and Llegup Pty Ltd.
Inspired by an original idea by Tim Finn.
A co-production with Sydney Theatre Company.
