Join us for a UTS Movie Night screening!

Hosted by UTS Backstage, Darlings and UTS Ciao in association with Australian Theatre Live, we will be celebrating the recent release of The Italians.

After a SOLD OUT season, we cannot wait to share this wild production.

☆☆☆☆☆ “This production retained an inherent authenticity” - ATYP

☆☆☆☆ “Brash, Ballsy and Brilliant!” - Sydney Scoop

☆☆☆☆ “... as fresh and delectable as a fresh biscotti, as zany and energetic as an Italian espresso with the depraved humour brought on by a shot of Grappa” - Theatre Thoughts

This uproariously funny and original Italian-Australian comedy covers all things Italiano: Nonna’s sugo, domineering parents, the immigrant story and Anthony Albanese.

The Italians is the story of Joe, a millennial Italian-Australian who gets caught up in the passions and politics of ethnic family traditions, the underbelly of Sydney’s Italian mafia, the dodgy dealings of Sicilian property developers and the proper way to cook tiramisu.

Written and brought to the stage by proudly Italian-Australian actor, producer, and writer, Danny Ball, The Italians premiered for a sold-out season at Sydney's Belvoir Street Theatre in 2022. The digital production, captured by Australian Theatre Live, in available now!
