Spare a Thought for Jana Wendt

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

Three old friends have booked a luxurious Airbnb in isolated bushland for a long-awaited catchup. This weekend is dedicated to self-care, top-shelf wine, slow cooking and the chance to relax and reconnect. But as a storm picks up outside their rented cottage, they start to wonder if they are indeed alone.

Shortlisted for the 2023 Patrick White Playwrights Award, Nicola Watson's dark new comedy takes aim at privilege and status - asking audiences who they care about, and why.
