SUMMARY:The Dapto Chaser
DESCRIPTION:The Dapto Chaser is a biting\, black comedy about chasing dreams\, racking up debts\, and the cut-throat world of greyhound racing. \nWhen your beloved dog’s your golden ticket and your family’s a ticking time bomb\, what could possibly go wrong? THE DAPTO CHASER is a biting\, black comedy about chasing dreams\, racking up debts\, and the cut-throat world of greyhound racing. \nWith the odds stacked against them\, the Sinclair family’s biggest gamble might not be on their champion\, Boy Named Sue — but on each other. \nMary Rachel Brown’s quintessentially Australian play dives into the brutal reality of addiction to the track\, where every win is a fleeting victory and every loss tastes like stale kibble. \nIt’s gritty\, it’s raw\, and it’s laugh-out-loud funny\, but at its heart\, it’s about the lengths we’ll go to for a chance at a better life.

SUMMARY:Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:This contemporary reimagining is a thrilling theatrical experience for students in Years 7 – 11\, offering a powerful introduction to Shakespeare’s language\, themes\, and dramatic form. \nSet in a world where ambition overrides morality and power corrupts absolutely\, an unexpected prophecy sends a national war hero and his brilliant wife as they spiral into a fever-dream for control. Shakespeare’s haunting tragedy combines Scottish and English history with Greek myth\, revealing a world where double-speak reigns\, violence is seductive\, and loyalty is a rare and precious thing. \nThis muscular\, modern production speaks directly to today’s students\, exploring the cost of ambition\, the fragility of conscience\, and the consequences of sacrificing humanity for personal gain. In an age obsessed with fame and influence\, Macbeth asks what happens when nature itself begins to fight back? \nSport for Jove’s Macbeth is boldly imaginative and true to the text\, filled with striking visuals\, rich performances\, and engaging revelations. It’s a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for young people.

SUMMARY:Phar Lap
DESCRIPTION:The musical that stops the nation \nNot just another absurdist\, electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse\, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart. If you’re thinking elaborate life-size puppetry and dazzling special effects\, you couldn’t be more wrong (we don’t have the budget). Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes for tap shoes to play one of Australia’s most beloved icons. \nWhen an awkward\, gangly horse from New Zealand meets a hapless\, down-on-his-luck\, trainer\, they embark on a classic underdog story to win the Melbourne Cup\, and Australians’ hearts and minds. The road isn’t easy – there are gambling scandals\, double-crosses\, an attempted shooting\, and a career-threatening addiction to sugar. It’s high stakes\, high drama\, and highly historically accurate. \nPhar Lap boasts an irresistible electro-swing score\, with inspirations from Duke Ellington to Daft Punk. Brassy\, lively and retro – these songs will take you from the race course to the rave hall. \nPop the champagne\, harness up\, and get ready for a wild ride.

SUMMARY:Once On This Island
DESCRIPTION:A tale of one young girl as she fearlessly follows her heart\, defying even the expectations of the Gods\nFrom the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical\, Ragtime) comes the Olivier Award-winning Once on This Island. This vibrant adaptation infuses its Caribbean roots with Australia’s own rich cultural tapestry\, injecting new life into the Hans Christian Anderson tale\, The Little Mermaid. \nTi Moune\, a humble peasant girl\, courageously saves the life of Daniel\, a wealthy boy from the far side of the island\, and soon finds herself captivated by love. Little does she know\, the island’s proud Gods wager on a timeless question: which is stronger\, love or death? The unwitting pawn in their bet\, Ti Moune’s life hangs in the balance as she follows her heart. \nThis energetic and radiant score is carried by a poignant tale of love\, sacrifice\, and the transformative power of storytelling.

SUMMARY:Coriolanus
DESCRIPTION:One of Shakespeare’s most exhilarating works\, Coriolanus is a gripping portrait of a tyrannical mind in the first years of the Roman Republic. \nCoriolanus is a ferocious warrior and defender of Rome. But his contempt for the public\, and his refusal to play the political game\, see him banished from the city he once protected. \nWhen he joins forces with his former enemy to seek vengeance against Rome\, the fate of the city\, and of Coriolanus himself\, hangs in the balance.

SUMMARY:Art From Behind The Wire
DESCRIPTION:Art From Behind the Wire is a new exhibition featuring posters\, magazines and other printed material created by Second World War prisoners of war\, including Major John Champion de Crespigny. \nJohn was among thousands of Australians made prisoners by the Japanese in the early months of 1942. Captivity at the hands of the Japanese is remembered for merciless brutality however the initial experience in some camps was not harsh. To maintain the morale of the inmates\, Champion de Crespigny and others made posters and produced a magazine\, Mark Time\, during their time as POWs in Java. \nThis extraordinary collection offers a glimpse into the uncertainties of life as captives of a cruel and unpredictable enemy. \nThe exhibition also includes four sketches of the Japanese war crimes trials held on Morotai in December 1945\, drawn by Signalman Alex King\, a talented professional newspaper artist. King served with the Australian Corps of Signals and was able to observe some of the trials firsthand. \nThese unique original sketches capture the moment when Japanese soldiers attended makeshift courts sitting in the witness chair. They offer a rare insight into both the trial process and the individuals accused of war crimes.

SUMMARY:The Wrong Gods
DESCRIPTION:In a valley in India\, paintings on a cave wall bear testimony to the presence of people – and their gods – for fifty thousand years. Close by\, Nirmala farms the soil as her ancestors did\, but her daughter Isha wants something more – a city education\, and the opportunity it promises. And there are outsiders in the valley now\, bringing new crops\, new technologies\, new visions of the future. There are new gods loose in the valley. But they are asking Nirmala and her people to pay a heavy price. \nThe Wrong Gods melds mother-and-daughter struggle with the economics of progress\, asking\, what are we worshipping? And what price will we pay?

SUMMARY:The Lover & The Dumb Waiter
DESCRIPTION:THE LOVER\nTrapped in the monotony of middle-class life\, Richard and Sarah’s marriage is on its last legs. Perhaps a lover could reignite their corroding relationship… or is escape from their stifling existence just a fantasy? \nBurning with intrigue and uneasy humour\, Harold Pinter spins a dangerous game of cat and mouse in this steamy psychological drama. \nTHE DUMB WAITER\nBen and Gus have a job to do. As they await instructions\, their silence is disturbed by the rattle of a dumb waiter delivering peculiar food orders. Who is making demands for extravagant dishes when all the two men have is a packet of crisps? \nAs the intensity builds in Pinter’s comedy of claustrophobia\, Ben and Gus begin to question everything… and so will you.

SUMMARY:Songs of First Desire
DESCRIPTION:This is a superb new play of passion\, history and politics\, intimate in its detail and epic in its storytelling. \nCamelia is losing her grip\, lost between the past and the present as she passes her days in the garden of her Madrid home. Her children employ Alejandro\, a Colombian migrant\, to look after her. But this house isn’t what it seems\, keeping the terrible secrets of history in its stones. As Alejandro’s presence begins to unlock the past\, it shakes a family that has buried its pain – and its country’s – for too long. \nThis is a dazzling piece of writing. Set in 1968 and the present\, it unpicks the instincts that drive individuals and whole societies towards fear and violence – and perhaps\, also\, reconciliation.

SUMMARY:Frankenstein
DESCRIPTION:Experience Frankenstein\, an extraordinary tale of creation and humanity\, retold in a large-scale theatrical event. \nVictor Frankenstein\, a grieving but brilliantly ambitious young scientist\, pushes the boundaries of theory and morality to create a living being from the remains of the dead.
