A tender and funny rom-com by Sam Steiner, presented by Rational Animals, exploring the beauty and preciousness of language.
Rational Animals are back at The Dungeon, Adamstown Uniting Church from Thursday 3 September, with Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons as their final show of 2026. It's a run of four days: Thursday 3 and Friday 4 at 7:30pm, then Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 with matinees at 2:00pm and evening shows at 5:00pm. The play is by Sam Steiner, and this production puts Aoife Gregory and Samantha Lambert on stage.
Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons is a tender and funny rom-com about what we say, how we say it, and what happens when we can't say anything anymore. It's a play that takes a familiar setup — the opposites-attract rom-com — and uses it to look at bigger things like democracy and free speech. The critics have been kind to it: Time Out called it "a beautiful play about the beauty and preciousness of language", The Guardian said it "takes the can opener to a typical opposites-attract romcom in order to explore wider issues of democracy and free speech", and Broadway Baby described it as "a masterpiece of beautiful simplicity".
