LateRooms.com - Tony McNamara's The Grenade to Open in Sydney

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, October 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Comic playwright Tony McNamara's latest hilarious production will be opening at the Sydney Opera House at the start of next month.

Keen theatregoers staying in one of the 5 star hotels Sydney has available will be sure to enjoy The Grenade, which is being billed as a "whodunit comedy of fidelity, marriage and inter-generational relationships".

According to the venue, people who head out from their cheap hotels in Sydney to watch the performance - running from November 9th until December 12th 2010 - will witness a show that satirises the country's obsession with security.

The plot follows the McTavish family and the way they react to a grenade being planted in their kitchen. Although the pin is still intact, man of the house Busby's paranoia regarding who could have left the explosive device grows and grows.

Starring the likes of Belinda Bromilow, Mitchell Butel, Gig Clarke, Bert LaBonte and Garry McDonald, the play has won critical acclaim for its writer.

In particular, the Age has been full of praise, describing McNamara as being "capable of writing satire as scathing as it is hilarious, creating over-the-top caricatures on both sides of the generation gap".

Last minute accommodation Sydney guests can pick up standard tickets for A$80, although admission on a Saturday evening costs A$85.
