World Premiere of Not Finished With You Yet!

The World Premiere of the Australian production of NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET! will open with preview performances on 7 & 8 March 2023, at the Alex Theatre, St Kilda, playing until Sunday, 2^nd April from Tuesday to Sunday, with matinees Saturdays and Sundays.

The leads will feature married couple Christie Whelan Browne who will play Kate and Rohan Browne, who will play Rupert who will play a married couple.

The cast also features Lauren Gunson, Daniel Cosgrove, Leah Zilberman, Cristina D'Agostino, Alexia Brinsley, Rebecca Cullinan, Dinesh Mathew, Alec Gilbert, Matt Heyward, Matthew Hamilton and Karla Hillam.

Dick Gross AM, writer, and composer said, “In this buoyant, occasionally saucy musical, the protagonists fight the system to stay together. Twenty songs explore this journey.

“In this play, everyone cannot wait to split except for one couple. What is the nature of the long-term, mature love in our lives?” he added.

Gross went on to explain the play. What if you lived in a world where divorce was compulsory? But you were still in love?

Lifelong love is unbearable. In this dystopian world where all marriages must end at 13 years, a couple fights to stay together for love.

Kate and Rupert live in a world where love is not forever …in their world as life expectancy has grown from 35 to 85, those extra 50 years make lifelong marriage unendurable: awful in fact. So, by law, everyone must divorce after 13 years.

BUT Kate and Rupert are in love.

Explore not only the nature of love in its middle stages but also confront middle-aged issues that we all must face at some time such as having children or not, the joys of coffee, post-menopausal sex, masturbation, and the male midlife crisis!

Kate and Rupert fight the 13-year rule and declare …. Marriage must live on …….
