About the Show

A multi-generational epic of a Sri-Lankan Australian family's journey.

An expansive, episodic play features nineteen actors from around the world, portraying the multi-generational saga of a Sri Lankan Australian family from 1956 to 2004.

Radha escapes Sri Lanka with her unborn child amid national turmoil. Two decades later, her son Siddhartha, now an Australian who knows little about his heritage, receives a life-altering call from his past. "Counting and Cracking," one of 2024’s most anticipated premieres, is a grand, joyous tale of family, forgiveness, lingering ghosts, and the enduring power of love.
