They once marched for a better world – now they fight to protect their own.
Old Fitz
Press Release
Sydney
After its acclaimed run at London’s Kiln Theatre, Mi Todo Productions brings the Australian premiere of Es & Flo to the Old Fitz. Jennifer Lunn’s tender and sharply humorous play traces a decades-long queer love story between two women whose connection was born in protest and deepened by a lifetime of quiet devotion.
Now, as older women, Es and Flo face the shifting terrain of memory, autonomy, and care, an intimate portrait rarely centred onstage. When illness threatens their independence, an unexpected family begins to gather around them, shaped by empathy, grit, and the radical generosity of love.
Through moments of laughter & heartbreak, Es & Flo reveals how care becomes an act of resistance, humour a balm, and love a quiet revolution. Through its moving celebration of an intimacy that endures, this story honours the tenderness, the battle-weariness and the quiet bravery of choosing each other again and again.
