Event Series Event Series: She Wrote the Letter

She Wrote the Letter

June 30, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

$30

She Wrote the Letter is based on an unlikely, long-lasting real friendship between Ute from East Germany and Tania from New Zealand – two women who maintained a 30-year committed pen relationship across language and cultural barriers, and through the collapse of communism.

Written by prolific Melbourne playwright, Kieran Carroll, in a collaboration with award-winning director Cathy Hunt, the play is drawn from correspondence that begins from a series of youthful letters from 1979 navigating the difficult East-West divide, before drawing us into complex family lives over decades.

Throughout all the political changes and shifts, and the evolution of their own lives, Ute and Tania maintain a loving connection and a longing to see each other’s countries. Performed by Tania McNaughton as herself, with Maria Nordenberg as Ute. 


She Wrote the Letter is based on a genuine experience through an incredible time in history.


“A standout piece of modern Australian theatre” says Weekend Notes. “Heartfelt two-hander…..full of tenderness” writes TheatrePeople; and from Theatre Travels: “If you’re looking for something that’s going to make you think about the world a little bit differently, look no further than She Wrote the Letter.”


Don’t miss this funny, joyous, and heart-warming new Australian play.

Livestream on  Fri 1 July 7.30pm $10.
