The Australian production of Appropriate, starring actress Mandy McElhinney, begins its Sydney Theatre Company season this weekend.

Mandy McElhinney told Deborah Knight it’s been a joy for the cast and audience alike to be “experiencing a story together” at full capacity for the first time in a year.

“I can’t explain it – it feels much more enjoyable I think than it ever has because we know what it’s like to not have it.

“It’s made theatre even more precious I think, to all of us.”
