Winner of the Best Play Award at the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.
Shane, sixteen and scared shitless, has fled small-town Australia for downtown Sydney. Adrift among the lonely hearts and heady thrills of Darlinghurst Road, Shane attempts to navigate the troubled waters of his past toward a brighter future.
Tommy Murphy's Strangers in Between received its UK premiere at the King’s Head Theatre, London, in 2016, directed by Adam Spreadbury-Maher.
"A wise and witty coming-of-age play about facing fears, about friendships forged across across the generations, and about making your own surrogate family. The tone combines the sharp and the sweet, the charmingly funny, the slightly rose-tinted and the completely explicit… Murphy gives all of his characters hidden depths." —Independent
