The Way Things Work

Red Stitch presents The Way Things Work

By Aidan Fennessy

Directed by Aidan Fennessy

Victorian Premiere

Democracy dies behind closed doors

Corruption. Politics. Loyalty. Fear.

Mate. Brother. Ally.

Don’t look away.

The media are savaging him, a Royal Commission has just been launched, and Patrick Barlow is in neck-deep. At least he has his mate Dench to count on…

Multi award-winning writer/director Aidan Fennessy’s dynamic and topical play is a darkly compelling, bitingly funny exploration of the relationship between masculinity and the thirst for power… in whatever echelon you might happen to inhabit.
