MTC Digital Theatre: Sunday

GALA SCREENING: Wednesday October 9, 7pm. Be among the first to see SUNDAY on the big screen, filmed in front of a live audience at Southbank Theatre. Ticket includes glass of prosecco on arrival and post-screening Q&A.


The critically-acclaimed Melbourne Theatre Company commission left audiences transfixed, and now, SUNDAY arrives at Cinema Nova for a limited time.

Propelled by an impeccable performance from Nikki Shiels (A Streetcar Named Desire, The Picture of Dorian Gray), MTC DIGITAL THEATRE: SUNDAY is an audacious fantasy inspired by the stories and myths that surround Heide Museum of Modern Art founder - the muse and mentor to a circle of artists including Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester.

Sunday Reed isn’t like most women. In fact, she’s not like most men. Outspoken, uninhibited and, adventurous, she has a laser eye for the new – in life and in art. When struggling artist Sidney Nolan arrives at Heide, the idyllic utopia Sunday is creating with her beloved husband John Reed on the outskirts of 1940s Melbourne, what ensues will haunt all three to their dying days. And in the aftermath, Australian art will never look the same.

From the creative mind of award-winning playwright Anthony Weigh (2,000 Feet Away), directed by Sarah Goodes (Julia) and also featuring Matt Day (North by Northwest), Josh McConville (Elvis), Ratidzo Mambo (The Heartbreak Choir) and Joshua Tighe, Sunday is an unforgettable story of a bold and complex woman and the price she paid for living and loving on her own terms as a woman in mid-20th century Australia.
