A rom-com… with a smash

Ray meets Joshua after the funeral of his mother, an Australian tennis legend. The pair hit it off, with banter that flies back and forth like a rally at Wimbledon.

Over one boozy night during the Australian Open, we witness a classic match of will-they-or-won’t they? But you’ll never guess how this game ends.

Secrets are uncovered and stains scrubbed off as we figure out who is the player and who is being played. Will a match this charged end in love… or a sudden-death finale?

Don't miss what will be the most talked-about theatrical event of the season. GAME. SET. MATCH. is a big serve.

Proud Gamilaroi woman and award-winning actor/playwright Megan Wilding (Blackie Blackie Brown, Mystery Road) is joined by one of Australia’s most recognisable faces, Rick Davies (Offspring, Apple Cider Vinegar), as they bring this thrilling script to life on the Malthouse stage.

 

“Megan Wilding doesn’t mean to steal scenes, but her physical acting, timing and control of her vocal pitch are so complete she’s a magnet for the eyes and ears. You laugh at every jot of comedy this character conveys.”
