‘It hijacks your nervous system and fast tracks its way into your soul.’ ★★★★ Scotsman
“A brilliant production which I loved” Suzie Miller, writer of Tony award-winning Prima Facie
Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating new play that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft. Featuring Karin McCracken and Simon Leary. Winner Best Play, TimeOut Australia Arts and Culture Awards 2025.
From acclaimed Wellington-based theatre company EBKM, who brought their ground-breaking Gravity & Grace to Circa Theatre last year (Production of the Year, Wellington Theatre Awards 2024), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman’s broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that’s studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love.
Featuring award-winning performances from Karin McCracken (Gravity & Grace, Yes Yes Yes) and Circa Theatre mainstay Simon Leary (Blithe Spirit, Gravity & Grace, Transmission Beta), as well as exquisite direction from Eleanor Bishop (Gravity & Grace, Girls and Boys), Heartbreak Hotel is a hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience.
Heartbreak Hotel comes to Circa Theatre fresh from smash-hit shows at Soho Theatre London, RISING Festival Melbourne, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Destined for international touring in 2026 and beyond, Heartbreak Hotel is only running at Circa for two weeks before the show must move on to other centers. Do not miss this special homecoming – it won’t happen again.
