“..I’ll never forget the look on my friend’s face in that moment.. he looked at me now like I was a stranger.”

Last Year’s Eve tells a powerful story about belonging, home and how we find our place in the world. This moving performance confronts the audience not with a grand political statement; but with an ordinary person, who throughout his life has had to face an extraordinary struggle. 

Inspired by real events, Last Year’s Eve explores themes of identity, friendship, family and isolation through the lens of a character who, after having left his country of origin as a child, finds himself once again faced with the prospect of leaving his home behind, along with everything he has built along the way. 

Last Year’s Eve began its production journey in 2016, where it was selected for La Mama Theatre’s Explorations Season, where it was then selected for La Mama’s Main Program in 2017. Following two critically acclaimed seasons in Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe, Last Year’s Eve made its International Premiere Off-Broadway at Theatre Row, New York City in 2023.
