An extra eight performances have been announced for the hotly anticipated production, presented by Brisbane Festival, Queensland Theatre and QPAC.
The season in QPAC’s Playhouse, which begins on Monday 30 August and runs throughout Brisbane Festival, has been extended for a fifth week with its final curtain call on Sunday 3 October.
Brisbane Festival Artistic Director Louise Bezzina said she was delighted – but not surprised – at how enthusiastically audiences from Brisbane, and beyond, had embraced the brand-new production from the moment it went on sale.
“Brisbane Festival is deeply committed to telling the stories of our great city and Boy Swallows Universe is a boldly Brisbane story, written by an exceptional Brisbane author and brought to life by incredibly talented group of artists and creatives,” Ms Bezzina said.
