17 - 27 February Sharehouse Production Company presents
TONSILS + TWEEZERS
Written by Will O’Mahony
Directed by Lucy Rossen
Ever wanted to kill someone?
Tonsils and Tweezers are a dynamic duo; think Wham!, toothbrush and toothpaste, the Macbeths.
It’s the kind of inextricable friendship that is built on banter, in-jokes and the weight of shared past. But one life-altering night has left a fracture between them, a wound that refuses to close. On this day, the day of their high school reunion, Tweezers will down tools, take out a gun and ask, “Tonsils, ever wanted to kill someone?”
At its core, this is a play about our men; how they love each other, hate each other and mourn. It’s sharp, joyful and devastating.
Sharehouse Production Company is excited to bring Will O’Mahony’s words back to a Sydney stage in their debut production: Tonsils + Tweezers.
