Ensemble Theatre presents SNOWFLAKE by Mike Bartlett, an intimate and bittersweet Christmas story about generational conflict, from 30 October - 21 November 2026.
Following its successful Australian premiere in 2025, director Jo Bradley is reunited with original cast members James Lugton (Ensemble’s True West, The Great Divide, A Doll’s House, and Diplomacy, TV's The Twelve) as Andy, Claudia Elbourne (Sport for Jove's A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Old Fitz’ She Threaded Dangerously) as Maya, and Lilian Alejandra Valverde (TV's The F Ward, Colin from Accounts) as Natalie.
All Andy wants for Christmas is an X-Files box set, some bloody common sense in politics, and maybe — just maybe — a second chance with his daughter, Maya. The holidays are the perfect time for a family reunion… right? Or will she be too busy planning to dismantle the patriarchy before pudding?
Expect awkward silences, uncomfortable truths, and more tension than a family game of Monopoly.
Director Jo Bradley said, “As a North Sydney local, I am extra excited to make my professional directing debut at Ensemble, a theatre so close to home. Snowflake is a show that really resonated with Sydney audiences when it first premiered, and I’m so looking forward to bringing it back with the original cast on the Ensemble stage.”
Ensemble’s Artistic Director, Mark Kilmurry said, “When I saw Snowflake at the Old Fitz, I knew it was a production that deserved a second life. Jo and the cast created something special, and we're delighted to welcome them to Ensemble for this remount. Supporting independent theatre and helping exceptional productions reach new audiences is an important part of Ensemble's artistic vision, and we're proud to continue that tradition with Snowflake.”
Written by multi award-winning UK playwright Mike Bartlett, SNOWFLAKE is a laugh-out-loud, lump-in-your-throat festive showdown about generational differences and why it’s never just “pass the gravy.”
SNOWFLAKE was originally produced by JB Theatre Co and Good Time Theatrics at the Old Fitz Theatre.
