Conscience by Joe DiPietro

The Australian Premiere of Tony Award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro's Conscience, directed by Madeleine Stedman, brings this pivotal moment to the stage. The play delves into the intense political and personal dynamics between Smith and McCarthy, portraying Smith as a dry-witted hero with the rare courage to take on a lying bully sowing chaos and threatening the nation's fabric. As McCarthy's influence unravels, the narrative underscores the enduring relevance of standing up against tyranny. A timely run production by Joining the Dots Theatre. This production invites audiences to reflect on the power of individual conviction in the face of widespread fear and the importance of remembering those who dared to speak out when others remained silent.
