🎭Honour
📍Red Stitch, St Kilda
🗓️ 15 February to 16 March

Honour is a defining work by one of Australia’s most celebrated playwrights, Joanna Murray-Smith. Red Stitch’s production of this landmark play will celebrate its 30th anniversary, following its original premiere at Playbox Theatre, Melbourne, in 1995.
At its core, Honour explores the devastating impact of infidelity and separation, distilling the chaos of these emotions into an elegant, razor-sharp theatrical experience. The play asks: What happens when everything that once defined you—every role, every relationship—suddenly unravels? What does a mature, intelligent, and loving woman do when her life begins to slip away?
Featuring Red Stitch Ensemble member Caroline Lee as Honor and Peter Houghton as George, Honour presents a timeless examination of self-identity and betrayal. Directed by the multi award-winning Sam Strong, this production promises to bring a fresh, compelling perspective to Murray-Smith’s powerful narrative.
