Housework
In 2025, the Dramatic Women will support HOUSEWORK, written by beloved playwright Emily Steel, directed by State Theatre Company South Australia Artistic Associate and starring Susie Youssef and Emily Taheny.
A whip smart, gaspingly funny and incisive deep dive into the corridors of power with shades of Veep, The Thick of It and The Hollowmen, celebrated South Australian playwright Emily Steel (Euphoria) blows open the doors of Parliament House to unlock some devilish and dangerous truths in this bold new black comedy.
