Gary Abrahams, Director – Hand to God

Performing Arts, Theatre

Gary Abrahams, the director of the current Australian production of Hand to God talks to the Sunday Arts Magazine team about the show and how he started in theatre.

The Australian premiere season of Hand To God features Gyton Grantley as the shy and awkward Jason, whose seemingly lifeless hand puppet, Tyrone, begins to take on a life of its own, Alison Whyte as his mother Margery, Grant Piro as Pastor Greg, Jake Speer as Timothy and Morgana O’Reilly as Jessica.

In this black comedy, something devilish is lurking in a church basement puppet show in Cypress, Texas. And his name is…Tyrone. He may look like an innocent sock puppet, but when he infiltrates the angst-ridden church youth group and takes possession of Jason’s arm, all hell breaks loose. Spectacularly foul-mouthed and wickedly scandalous, Tyrone shocks with his outrageous insinuations, exposing their deepest secrets – and teaching us all about love, grief and what it means to be human.
