Priscilla Jackman and The Cost of Living (back catalogue)

Priscilla Jackman joins Regina Botros to discuss The Cost of Living for Sydney Theatre Company. First broadcast 24th July, 2024.

Sydney Theatre Company and Queensland Theatre’s co-production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Tony-nominated Broadway smash-hit, Cost of Living.

Priscilla Jackman (RBG: Of Many, One) and internationally acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Dan Daw (The Dan Daw Show) direct this Australian premiere production of one of the best pieces of new writing to emerge from the US in the last decade, written by former carer turned playwright, Martyna Majok.

Co-director and performer Daw leads an exceptional cast including Philip Quast (STC's Do Not Go Gentle), Kate Hood (Malthouse Theatre's The Real and Imagined History of the Elephant Man), and Zoe de Plevitz (Netflix's Boy Swallows Universe) in a beautifully rendered four-hander about our need to care, or be cared for, no matter the distance that age, race and disability might place between us.
