23.01.2022 Australian international playwright Michael OBrien has joined the Sons of Sun team to write the new play Sons of Sun - Elvis and the 77 Comeback Special. Michael has had a number of plays produced by Darlinghurst Theatre and by Belvoir Downstairs Theatre (Frozen directed by Kate Gaul) and also participated and workshopped in the NIDA Playwrights Studio. He says, " Developing this new play with John Kennedy has been a great process the marrying of a dramatic narrative within a biography structure has been hugely rewarding from a writers perspective with the cherry on top of getting familiar again with some great music and fascinating characters."
