The Trouble with Harry - Scratch Series

Eugenia becomes Harry. Harry meets Annie. Trouble ensues. 

The Trouble with Harry is the thrilling new play by award winning Australian playwright Lachlan Philpott. Join us for the premiere reading of this work, which tells the story of Eugenia Falleni, the notorious 'ManWoman' of Sydney in the early 1900's.

Enjoying a unique place in Sydney’s bawdy history, Falleni’s story continues to fascinate. An Italian immigrant, Falleni lived much of her life as a man - Harry Crawford - and served time in prison for the murder of her own wife.

Developed as part of the PlayWriting Australia National Script Workshop, this work takes an idiosyncratic look at the Falleni story, questions versions of this history and looks at contemporary debates and assumptions surrounding gender.

Duration: 90mins, no interval
