MARCH 2024 UPDATE

Philip has just returned from Austria, where his production of Ken Levine’s comedy “America’s Sexiest Couple” is still attracting large audiences for Vienna’s English Theatre.

The play tells the story of two middle-aged actors, former stars of a US television series, who were once branded "America’s Sexiest Couple”. After many years, the pair are reunited in a New York State hotel, where they have travelled for a colleague’s funeral.

The Austrian press have praised the production:

“Director Philip Dart skilfully transfers the sitcom format to the theatre stage, and the audience provides the live laugh track”

"Philip Dart ... has already proven several times in Vienna that he has a knack for comedies."

Norbert Mayer, Die Presse

"It succeeds under the direction of Philip Dart. Amanda Osborne and Mark Elstob throw themselves into their virtuoso pieces with verve."

Renate Wagner, Online Merker.

Philip is currently working on an adaptation of a Conan Doyle novel, commissioned by VET. “Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four” will open in Vienna this autumn. Meanwhile his youth play, The Visit, will tour Austrian schools for a second time in September.
