Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (15)

Main House Theatre  |  3 - 5, 10 & 20 August 2022

“wise, amusing, unexpectedly touching exploration of human psyches, the bodies that house them and radical self-acceptance”

Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson) doesn’t know good sex. Whatever it may be, Nancy, a retired schoolteacher, is pretty sure she has never had it, but she is determined to finally do something about that. She even has a plan: It involves an anonymous hotel room, and a young sex worker who calls himself Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack). Leo is confident, dapper, and takes pride in being good at his job. He also appears to be intrigued by Nancy — one of many things to surprise her during their time together.

"Emma Thompson delivers a career-best performance"
