David Williamson’s iconic play, The Removalists, makes a powerful return to the stage, reviving its unflinching exploration of domestic violence, police brutality, and the abuse of power.  Set in Melbourne in the 1970s, the story follows the turbulent events that unfold when Fiona Carter, with the help of her sister Kate and a removalist, attempts to leave her abusive husband, Kenny. The situation escalates as two police officers, Sergeant Simmonds and Constable Ross, become involved, revealing the dark underbelly of toxic masculinity. Melbourne Theatre Company's revival of Williamson's black comedy invites audiences to reflect on societal issues while enjoying a hearty laugh.  Review written by Noel Anderson  More Info: https://linktr.ee/noelanderson [https://linktr.ee/noelanderson] Start Your Own Blog and Get $25 Credit [https://wordpress.com/refer-a-friend/809VVXkI8KvvvBwOQqNK/]
