“A spunky, fast-talking, take no prisoners twosome…Wonderful, timely, and poignant.” (The Front Row Centre, NYC)

Katie and Will are best friends, podcast hosts, woke and very single. Set in Sydney, The Culture tackles heavy issues with a light touch, using the warmth and intimate banter between two best friends. Audiences are welcomed into Will and Katie’s living room and into an important wider conversation. Through the seemingly light hearted lenses of social media and friendship, The Culture examines the search for love in the modern world and considers how dangerous it can really be for a gay man and a woman. Is their friendship enough to keep them safe?

What do you call it when a woman threads her keys through her fingers on the walk to her car? What do you call it when a man is catfished because of his sexual orientation? What do you call it when he breaks her property, isolates her, and gives her a black eye?
We call it THE CULTURE. 

THE CULTURE is the debut production for Powersuit Productions, and is touring through Australia and New Zealand in 2023. Written by Sydney’s up and coming playwright, Laura Jackson.
