Set in a diner on the outskirts on Memphis, 1968, Halfway to Memphis is a drama exploring tensions and evolving beliefs among a diverse community following the shocking death of Martin Luther King Jr. A fast-building storm forces a confinement of nine unlikely individuals and a collision of their attitudes towards a developing society, with the stage serving as the soapbox for their conflicting convictions.

Written by up-and-coming playwright and poet, Whit Cook, the show intends to demonstrate an alternative perspective on social issues including race and abuse. With signals of hope and redemption, Halfway to Memphis provides the audience with a thought-provoking vantage point for adversity in action.

Halfway to Memphis is the debut performance from Laura Belle Productions, an organisation passionate about providing opportunities for breakthrough talent to bring their visions to life across the arts.
