Whether you’ve ever been to an office Christmas party or simply ever been on a date, this hilarious look at the war between the sexes is the perfect light summer comedy.

"A cruise through the gulf between men and women… a quick-edit ping-pong of repartee… tit-for-tat exchanges, powerplays and some Byzantine differences between men and women in relationships are held up to the light and revealed in all their shallow glory… Johnson writes like a cross between Harold Pinter and Jerry Seinfeld… a fun, snappy piece of enjoyable theatre."

Lenny Ann Low, THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD.

Set in the pubs, offices, gyms and apartments of inner-city Sydney , and then on a cruise on Sydney Harbour , BARNESY, THE HARBOUR AND YOU takes a hilarious and very provocative look at modern urban relationships. Infidelity, lust, lies and prohibited substances all add to the rapid-fire wit of this ultra fast-paced, cinematic comedy. To see Reviews or other media reports, go here.
