Sharehouse Production Company in association with The Old Fitz Theatre, is thrilled to present their debut production, Tonsils + Tweezers. The season will run from February 17 – February 27 as part of Fitz’s 2026 Late Night programming.
EVER WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE?
Tonsils and Tweezers are a dynamic duo; think Wham!, toothbrush and toothpaste, the Macbeths.
It’s the kind of inextricable friendship that is built on banter, in-jokes and the weight of a shared past. But one life-altering night has left a fracture between them. On this day, the day of their high school reunion, Tweezers will down tools, take out a gun and ask, “Tonsils, ever
wanted to kill someone?”
This reimagining features some of Sydney’s most promising emerging talent. For director Lucy Rossen (Al La Carte, NIDA), this marks her debut production since graduating from NIDA’s prolific Directing MFA in 2025. The cast includes up-and-comers Ariyan Sharma (Dear
Evan Hansen, Sydney Theatre Company; Life Is A Dream, Belvoir 25A), Toby Carey (All Boys, KXT; Black Snow 2, Stan), Victor Xu (All Boys, KXT) and Caitlin Green (Traffic Light Party, KXT).
Sharehouse Production Company is a newly formed Sydney-based collective founded by four housemates and NIDA grads (Jago Field,
Caleb Jamieson, Caitlin Green and Victor Xu. This Australian story by an Australian playwright received a playwriting Australia National Script Workshop before going on to win the 2014 Black Swan Emerging Writers Groups Best New Play Award.
