Xavier is a narcissist. A jaded, urban professional stuck in the show-me world of Brisbane’s inner-city, he’s approaching middle age and the dream of finding a “psychosexually well-adjusted” partner is slipping through his perfectly manicured fingers.

Enter Bronwyn — his best friend, boozy, brilliant and equally fed up with life’s second-hand thrill. She issues a challenge: “Six weeks to bag a man! No ifs, no buts, no limits, no boundaries and no rules!”

The Narcissist is a riotous, politically incorrect post-modern comedy of manners — part farce, part social commentary — that peels back the shiny veneer of middle-class sexual politics and self-image wars. With razor-sharp wit and unapologetic swagger, Carleton holds up the mirror and asks: Who’s watching who?

A play guaranteed to leave audiences in gasping fits — and maybe a little uneasy about their own reflections. If you loved the 2000s vibe of TV shows such as Will & Grace, you’ll love The Narcissist.

Grab your friends, grab a drink and book your tickets now- this is on bet you don’t want to miss.
