Enoch leaves QTC with a season that will engage and entertain, and bring a record breaking number of puppets to the stage.

Before leaving for Sydney Festival next month, Wesley Enoch’s parting gift to Queensland’s Theatre Company is a season to “engage and challenge on the need for bravery and moral fortitude in shifting times, providing a forum for debate, diversity and the driving of change.”

The eminent director who has built a reputation on breaking new artistic ground wherever he steps, describes his final season as a collection of love letters to artists and audiences, stories that have been drawn from all he has worked on, invested in and learnt, during his four years’ tenure as Artistic Director.

Amongst the ten credible plays in the season, Enoch’s triumph is a world premiere, The Wider Earth. The production is to be a groundbreaking collaboration between QTC and Dead Puppet Society and is described as a coming-of-age story about science and faith that recounts the tale of a younger Charles Darwin’s voyage on the HMS Beagle.
