How Not to Make it in America

It's 2001. A naive young Australian actor arrives in New York. One man plays twenty-eight characters in this heartbreakingly funny award-winning play about 9/11 and chasing your dreams. Twenty-five years after September 11 changed the world, performer James Smith transforms from a hopeful Aussie to a weary New York lawyer to a British compulsive liar (to name a few), in a fragmented story inspired by playwright Emily Steel's real-life experiences. 'Beautifully told, deeply resonant' ***** (List). 'Go see it and take all of your friends' ***** (GlamAdelaide.com.au).
