We were so thrilled and proud of Myra in Space. With an extraordinary cast and crew we delivered a show that had the critics and audiences buzzing with warmth and conversation.

The Blurb:

Myra in Space (fortyfivedownstairs) – theatre review – The Blurb

Theatre Matters:

Myra in Space – Theatre Matters

“Quietly confronting”

“There’s a lovely surrealism to the play that amuses and endears”

“The play boasts a superbly strong cast.”

“While it is a poignant play, it is also joyful in its own way”

Arts Review:

Myra in Space | Australian Arts Review

“Burton’s dialogue is quick-witted and her characters richly rendered. The feminist politic at the show’s centre is handled with nuance and heart”

“incredible performances across the board”

“Nash is the star of the show, playing Myra with a warmth and charm that helps us feel the tragedy of Myra’s circumstances without simply pitying her.”

The Plus Ones:

“The play brilliantly tackles Myra’s struggle in realising that some childhood dreams are not so easily forgotten. This production does flirt with some darker themes, but it is perfectly balanced with humour.”
