The Gift

By Joanna Murray-Smith

Directed by Natasha Boyd

How far would you go for friendship?

Sadie and Ed meet Martin and Chloe at a holiday resort and instantly hit it off, despite coming from completely different worlds.

Ed is rich and generous, and Martin and Chloe have a need so great it seems divine providence that the two couples should have found each other. So, given time to think, they make their wish known, but — surely nobody could possibly grant it?

After premiering at Melbourne Theatre Company in 2011, and wrapped in Joanna Murray-Smith’s glinting dialogue, ‘The Gift’ is a witty examination of our modern moral confusions.

  • Season Dates: Thursday 19th March – Saturday 28th March, 2026.

  • Suitable for mature audiences.

    Some occasional coarse language.

  • There will be a 20 minute interval.

    The performance will conclude at approximately 10.15pm.

    "There's a secret -- a preposterous gift -- that is revealed near the end of Joanna Murray-Smith's play, and it's a real doozy."
