About

Following a triumphant and Helpmann Award-nominated national tour across Australia, Matthew Ryan's Kelly finally celebrates its UK Premiere. This multi-award-winning play earned the Matilda Award for Best Mainstage Production and is a high-stakes psychological thriller that challenges everything we know about the world's most famous bushranger.

The production stars a Matilda Award-winning actor as Ned Kelly, delivering a performance that anchors this verbal boxing match between two brothers. On his final night in Old Melbourne Gaol, Ned is visited by his brother Dan, who was supposed to have burned to death months earlier. Their confrontation is a brutal and honest exploration of masculinity, family, and the price of legend.

Critics have been unanimous in their praise:

"A stupefyingly good script... poignant and to the point." (Sydney Morning Herald)

"A stunning, exalting, and truly authentic piece of theatre." (Arts Hub)

"Gripping, complex, and deeply moving." (Australian Plays Transform)
