A special celebration of theatre legend Martin Smith—actor, director, playwright, and passionate champion of local talent. Marquee with Martin: The Tribute Show is a moving tribute featuring a double bill of Martin’s final works: The Crowning Glory and The Tally Stick Program.
The Crowning Glory follows a rare interview with world-renowned expressionist painter Greer Cavendish, whose macabre works may be linked to a string of murders, while The Tally Stick Program sees AI model Vocé testing Quinn to determine if they’re human in a witty, thought-provoking exploration of what makes us human.
Join us as we honour the legacy of unforgettable magic he brought to the stage.
