Becoming Benno
Adelaide
From $18.00
Becoming Benno is one-person heartfelt comedy.
At Sydney Airport, with his wife and child waiting anxiously at arrivals, Ben—a washed-up South African actor—is unexpectedly detained by immigration due to an issue with his Permanent Residency Visa. What was to be his first hour as an Australian becomes an hour of uncertainty…
As Ben oscillates between confidence that he’ll be admitted and panic at the possibility of rejection, he reflects on the challenges and emotions of moving countries. Armed with his 7kg hand luggage and a copy of Qantas Spirit of Australia magazine, he delves into themes of identity, family, and belonging, with humour and heartfelt insight.
While waiting, Ben encounters Mr. Brody, a meticulous Australian Border Security officer; Arisha, a Mumbai resident visiting her Australian grandchild and Jared, a British cleaner.
With a heartfelt script, an irrepressible performance, and a cast of diverse characters brought to life by a single performer, Becoming Benno tells the story of a man reinventing himself and finding hope—and humour—in his journey Down Under.
