Theatre Republic director Corey McMahon says the best theatre asks questions without easy answers.

The company’s latest production The Almighty Sometimes follows Anna, newly-turned 18 and living with mental illness. For as long as she can remember, she has lived her life hand-in-hand with her medication.

After discovering her childhood journals, filled with captivating and imaginative stories, Anna decides to take control of her life and her treatment, hoping to reclaim her identity, creativity and independence.

But when Anna’s world begins to spiral out of control, those closest to her start to question the wisdom of her decision.

The Almighty Sometimes shines a light on the complexities of living with a mental illness and the difficult decisions a parent has to make to save their child.

Theatre Republic’s presentation of the multi-award-winning play by Australian playwright Kendall Feaver stars Simon Chandler, Tamara Lee, Emily Liu and Anna Steen.
