ABOUT THE SHOW

“Funny, deliciously rude and at times piercingly moving.”
Daily Telegraph, UK

Sydney Theatre Company and Adshel present
A Melbourne Theatre Company production
JUMPY
by April De Angelis

Australian premiere

The mother of all midlife crises

Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Hilary. Her career is on the line, her marriage is slipping into habit and her daughter is barely talking to her. The icing on the misery cake is having to watch her best friend’s embarrassing attempts at staying young.

April De Angelis’ frank and funny family drama charts the perils of growing up and growing old with refreshing candour. At its core is a strong, intelligent woman who once protested against nuclear weapons, but who now finds herself largely protesting against her daughter’s choice of clothing. It wasn’t meant to be like this.

Making her STC debut, comedy icon Jane Turner (Kath & Kim) will have an absolute field day as Hilary. And director Pamela Rabe, no stranger to STC as both an actor (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) and a director (In the Next Room, or the vibrator play), will bring her deft touch to the play’s wit and its pathos.

Duraton: 2hrs 15mins (including interval)
