Award-winning Australian playwright Aidan Fennessy's "The Architect" is a moving and uplifting contemporary drama about friendship and the unexpected connections that can change our lives.

​

When Helen's partner John heads overseas, she reluctantly agrees to employ a temporary carer. Against all expectations, she chooses Lennie – a young drifter and jack-of-all-trades whose qualifications are questionable, but whose enthusiasm for life is undeniable.

​

As an unlikely friendship develops, Helen and Lennie help one another confront difficult truths, discovering that hope, humour and companionship can be found in the most unexpected places.

​

Warm, funny and deeply human, The Architect explores end-of-life choices, resilience and the comfort we find in meaningful connection.
