Mothers and Sons

by Terrence McNally

seen at the Ensemble Theatre (Sydney) on 3 September 2015

The play, directed by Sandra Bates (artistic director at the Ensemble since 1986), features Anne Tenney as Katharine, Jason Langley as Cal, Tim Draxl as Will, and Connor Burke or Thomas Fisher as Bud (the latter in this performance).

The Ensemble Theatre has been performing in its converted boatshed in Kirribilli since 1960 (it was founded in 1958); in the early 1980s the venue underwent a major refit, converting it from a theatre-in-the-round to one of banked - and far more comfortable - seats around three sides of a small thrust stage.
