SUMMARY:A Case For The Existence Of God
DESCRIPTION:In a hostile and divided world\, Samuel D. Hunter shines a delicate light on the possibility that something sacred can emerge in the connection between two people. \nRyan is straight\, white\, undereducated\, awful with money\, and reeling from a painful divorce from the mother of his child\, while Keith is black\, polished\, financially savvy\, and the gay single caretaker of a foster daughter. When Ryan seeks Keith’s help to secure a loan and buy back land that his family lost\, the two men discover they share “a specific kind of sadness” and unexpectedly choose to bring one another into their fragile worlds. \nInfused with humour\, honesty and grace\, Hunter’s extraordinary play shows us that\, maybe\, there’s hope for us all.

SUMMARY:The Tempest/Hag-Seed Symposium
DESCRIPTION:“…be not afeard\, the isle is full of noises…” \nOne of Shakespeare’s truly original and most personal plays\, The Tempest is a symphonic vision of forgiveness\, discovery and self-discovery. Famous for its language\, context\, enchanting characters and breathtaking theatricality\, the play is a reflection of the world’s most famous playwright at the height of his powers and at the end of his remarkable career. \nThis tempest is not only in Prospero – the storm lies in the contradictions and ambiguities the story throws up about freedom and slavery\, civilisation and barbarism\, legacy and letting go\, lust and chastity\, youth and age\, revenge and forgiveness. The sea is a place of transformation but also represents the capriciousness of nature\, chaos\, or fate.

SUMMARY:Richard III
DESCRIPTION:Sport for Jove’s Richard III returns after a hugely successful season in 2023. Seen through the eyes of Elizabeth I this production gives students an incredible insight into the play and when it was written. \nThis production is an essential tool for students to come to grips with this play’s innate theatricality and plethora of challenging characters when comparing it to Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard. Don’t let your students miss this opportunity to see and hear the play live. \nPeace at last in the land of the free! \nBut while a gruesome war has ended and the world dances\, one dangerous mind is still in the trenches\, his language weaponised and targeted on every point of weakness around him. He will take no prisoners on his rampage to the top.

SUMMARY:Henry IV (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Redemption? Disgrace? Honour? Legitimacy? Love? Glory? What sort of world do the young inherit from the old\, and what should we fight for? What makes a truly great leader? Henry IV (Part 1) is a play made for our time. Shakespeare looks back at history to imagine his nation’s future and turns an immense and kaleidoscopic national lens on the most simple and human of relationships – the family. \nThe play is moving\, funny and thrillingly chaotic\, swaying on a tightrope of irrational thought and behaviour trying to maintain its sanity and balance\, tumbling from conniving politics to saturnalian madness as people at every level of English society grasp for power\, notoriety\, fame and loyalty from those around them

SUMMARY:24th Biennale of Sydney - Ten Thousand Suns
DESCRIPTION:Ten Thousand Suns departs from an acknowledgement of a multiplicity of perspectives\, cosmologies\, and ways of life that have always woven together the world under the sun. This central life-giving body\, like the world it shines light upon\, has otherwise been known under thousands of different words in as many languages. But many of these cultural viewpoints have in fact not relied on a vision of a single sun. \nA multiplicity of suns conveys ambiguous images. It evokes a scorching world\, both in several cosmological visions and very much in our moment of climate emergency. But it also conveys the joy of cultural multiplicities affirmed\, of First Nations understandings of the cosmos brought to the fore\, and of carnivals as forms of resistance in contexts that have surpassed colonial oppression. The 24th Biennale of Sydney works with these different layers of meaning\, acknowledging the deep ecological crises derived from colonial and capitalist exploitation while refusing to concede to an apocalyptic vision of the future. This politics of doom are seen as an attempt by the same forces that have caused these multiple crises to control possibilities to overcome them. The 24th Biennale of Sydney proposes instead solar and radiant forms of resistance that affirm collective possibilities around a future that is not only possible\, but necessary to be lived in joy and plenitude\, produced in common and shared widely. \nAround this central theme and ethos\, the 24th Biennale of Sydney goes deeper into different connected threads. One of them is the history and the imagination around the atomic era\, as a concentrated version of the history of climate alteration through human exploitation\, but also as a specific history that places Australia at the core of the atomic era which has largely been staged in the broader Pacific region. Another thread follows a lineage of largely repressed or misconstrued moments that have been crucial in the history of Australia and have involved relations with the Muslim world. These include the complex exchanges between First Nations and Muslim Makassars over many centuries; the history of cameleers from across South and West Asia\, trafficked to the country in the 19th century and later exiled due to the introduction of the White Australia policy; the formation of an Australian national identity as a consequence to the loss at Gallipoli in the First World War\, orchestrated from London as an anti-jihad preventive campaign; Australia’s history of racist anti-migration policies\, as well as the broader role that Islamophobia plays in processes of othering in contemporary life in the country.

SUMMARY:A Midsummer Nights Dream
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s classic comedy\, A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, is reawakened in this breathless production brimming with magic\, mirth and mayhem. \nLove is in the air in Athens – and it’s contagious. Besides the royal wedding\, which is just days away\, there are young lovers dreaming of enchanted futures together. Hermia and Lysander are besotted with one another\, while Helena adores Demetrius. The only snag is that Demetrius loves Hermia – and he’s got Hermia’s father on his side. So nobody is happy. (Shakespeare wasn’t kidding when he said the course of true love never did run smooth.) \nDetermined to be together\, Hermia and Lysander meet in a moonlit forest\, with plans to elope. Following hot on their heels is Demetrius\, who in turn is pursued by a lovelorn Helena. But the young lovers are not alone in the forest. Nick Bottom and his hapless bunch of tradies have gathered to rehearse a play to be performed at the royal wedding. And\, hidden from human eyes\, a mischievous sprinkling of fairies are also in the forest that night. The three worlds collide in an explosion of comic confusion that throws the future of all the lovers into jeopardy.

SUMMARY:The Dictionary Of Lost Words
DESCRIPTION:Discover the secret power of words\nIt’s 1886 and the very first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is being compiled. Four-year-old Esme Nicoll has a front row seat. Well\, she’s hiding under the sorting table\, anyway. As her father and his male colleagues decide which words stay and which go\, Esme collects the discarded (often gendered) scraps to compile her own far more radical\, far more magical dictionary.\nA sweeping historical tale in the spirit of The Harp in the South\, The Dictionary of Lost Words follows Esme from her childhood in the 1880s\, into adulthood at the height of the women’s suffrage movement and the beginning of the First World War.

SUMMARY:The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
DESCRIPTION:Six spellers enter… but only one speller can leave a champion! At least the losers get a juice box… \nThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a wildly hilarious take on adolescence\, parenting\, teachers\, and the\nP-A-N-D-E-M-O-N-I-U-M of the world of competitive spelling bees. Centred around a very eclectic group of six mid-pubescent teens\, the show effortlessly weaves its way through the motivations and hopes of each competitor as they vie to take home the spelling championship of a lifetime! But which speller will avoid the soul-crushing ‘ding’ of the bell that signals the end of their time in the competition?

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:Our production takes on the spirit of a filthy Italian opera\, driven by love and heat\, fights and fevers of the mind\, and of course\, by Shakespeare’s soaring poetry. We are carried to backcountry Verona\, a profoundly insular town\, trapped in cycles of tradition and vendetta\, staring out at the future with moral pollution at its heart. Only its children’s courage to express themselves will bring change. With the mad blood stirring\, two young lovers meet and set in motion the most iconic love story of all time\, that of Juliet and her Romeo.

SUMMARY:Miss Peony
DESCRIPTION:A comedy of beauty pageants\, unrealistic expectation and the business of family.\nLily’s grandmother was a beauty queen back in Hong Kong. She doesn’t care that times have changed\, that Lily lives in a new country and a new century. She sees a granddaughter caught between worlds. So Poh Poh pushes Lily into entering the highly competitive Miss Peony\, and no matter how hard Lily tries to wriggle out of it\, her grandma won’t take no for an answer. \nAnd to make matters worse\, she’s a ghost. \nGlitzy and madcap\, Miss Peony is a bold new comedy about our good old need for connection – to family\, the past\, the future\, each other. \nAnd for the first time ever we’re offering a show in three languages: as in real life\, these characters switch between English\, Cantonese and Mandarin\, so the show is surtitled in all three.
