Two Weeks With The Queen at Wyong

Wyong Drama Group and Red Tree Theatre are pleased producing the Australian play Two Weeks With The Queen, based on the popular novel by Morris Gleitzman and adapted for the stage by Mary Morris, from August 18th to August 26th, 2023.

Two Weeks With The Queen brings to life the audacious journey of Colin, a young boy who ventures to meet Queen Elizabeth II, nurturing the hope of finding a cure for his critically ill brother in Australia. This multi-generational tale weaves themes of love, loss, resilience of the human spirit, and the quintessential Australian spirit of perseverance amidst adversity.

Joshua Maxwell, who initially directed the show for Wyong Drama Group in 2012, and later for a one-night engagement for Red Tree Theatre in 2022, returns at the helm of this production. Alongside Maxwell, local performer Scott Russell revisits his role as Colin, leading a cast of 18 performers including Stephen McLaren, Ruth Jordon, Gabrielle Brooks, Rose Noble, and more.

"We are eager to bring Two Weeks With The Queen back to the main stage," said Maxwell. “Over the past decade, I've evolved as a storyteller, and the narrative of this play has adopted a new, even bolder significance. It's an honour to revisit a work that undeniably propelled my career as a director.”

Ticket prices start at $30, with a special community support performance slated for those facing challenging times.
