Kryptonite

(Sydney Theatre Company)

'Kryptonite' is an new Australian play commissioned jointly by the Sydney Theatre Company and Playwriting Australia.

The two hander concerns a female Chinese student in Australia who develops a personal and then business relationship with a laid-back young Australian. The events span across twenty five years including the Tiananmen Square demonstrations and massacre.

Ursula Mills and Tim Walter play the pair and the chemistry between them ensures the relationship comes across as believable.

An impressive new play, very nicely acted and simply staged.
