Dates

28 Mar 2025

Description

NEWK is the ace new play from award-winning Australian playwright Kieran Carroll, who traces the life of the great Australian tennis champ of the 1960s-70s, John Newcombe. Set at his 80th birthday in Sydney, John Newcombe’s journey travels from naïve 1960s schoolboy, to the No. 1 tennis player in the world, to the stroke he suffered in 2003. Both drama and comedy converge as the Grand Slam legend adjusts to the quickly changing world around him and learns to channel his zest for life…including his numerous endeavours into the commercial business world, with his hilarious foibles in Cinzano, bananas and Canon cameras to name a few! Newcombe is a grand story about wanting life to be a huge ride, and how you learn to temper that appetite across your lifetime.
