Red Sky Morning

Theatre Works presents

Red Sky Morning
By Tom Holloway

A powerful and poetic story about family, silence, and finding hope in the everyday.

A woman, a man, and a girl live under the same roof, and over the course of one day, their stories unfold. Revealing love, regret, and the quiet hope that things might get better, Red Sky Morning expertly crafts a world where life in the country is steeped in beauty, but also brutal honesty.

Tom Holloway's award-winning script, Red Sky Morning, captures the heart of regional Australia; the early mornings, the long silences, the unspoken care that holds families together. With sharp wit and tender honesty, it reflects the challenges and strengths of small-town life, where connection is both fragile and essential. Playing for a limited season at the Theatre Works Acland Street venue, don't miss the chance to catch this iconic work brought to life by a remarkable team.

Directed by Lyall Brooks and presented by Theatre Works as a part of their 2026 By Theatre Works programming, this production of Red Sky Morning will also tour to regional Victoria from the 26th to the 30th of May. Further information is available on the Theatre Works website.

Based in St Kilda, Theatre Works has been home to bold, independent theatre for more than 40 years. They give artists the space, support, and freedom to take risks, and audiences the chance to discover powerful new Australian stories. Each year, they present dozens of productions across their three venues, from reimagined classics to brand new works, created in partnership with some of the country's most exciting theatre makers.

Other 2026 By Theatre Works productions include Australian Open, Savages, Beyond The Neck, Mara, Lazarus, Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, The Wolves, and Lord of the Flies.
