Play aids refugee centre

A new play, Blind City, will be performed at the Bondi Pavilion Theatre on March 26 to raise money for the Asylum Seekers’ Centre in Surry Hills.

The Alex Broun play, set in Sydney, is part mystery, part thriller, about a city affected by a mysterious celestial phenomenon.

The cast includes Sarah Smuts-Kennedy (An Angel at My Table) and Graeme Rhodes (Water Rats, All Saints).

All proceeds will go to the Asylum Seekers’ Centre, which is an initiative of the Jesuit Refugee Service. It is sponsored by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd and the Mercy Foundation.

The centre, staffed mainly by volunteers, provides assistance to refugee applicants who are waiting for a decision on their cases.

Tickets to Blind City are $20 ($15 concession). Call 9361 5606 or Ticketek.
