Second Samuel opens this week at Subiaco Arts Centre !  This outstanding script that was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize is finally here, ready to take your breathe away!!

It is seriously one of the best scripts I have ever read !  No wonder playwright Pamela Parker has been recognized twice for the Pulitzer !

Second Samuel has been performed throughout U.S.A. and is suitable for all ages!  This international premiere along with US guest actor Nat Martin, is a beautiful story set in the 1940s and its message of acceptance is relevant today just as it was then.

We all have secrets, but the townsfolk of Second Samuel are rocked by a huge revelation.

The people in the sleepy rural town of Second Samuel are preparing for the funeral of one of their most beloved citizens. But their serenity is suddenly shattered when dark secrets are revealed, making townfolk in for a summer no one will ever forget.

Second Samuel is a small town in Georgia, rebuilt after General Sherman burned the first one. It’s where the men spend their leisure time at the local watering hole and the women are found gossiping at the local hair and beauty emporium.

This touching Southern American comedy is about family, diversity and strength with a unique blend of charm, wit and humour. Second Samuel is a journey of discovery and the message comes home that it is okay to be different.

Second Samuel has received rave reviews from American theatre critics, been on three national tours, countless high school and community theatre productions, sold out every performance at South Carolina’s Spoleto International Arts Festival, been off Broadway, has been produced at Virginia’s historic Barter Theatre, and named best original script by the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper.
