  • Romeo and Juliet

    Seymour Centre

    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.

  • The Weekend

    Belvoir St Theatre

    A sophisticated new adaptation of Charlotte Wood's bestselling novel of friendship and the wisdom of age.

    “People went on about death bringing friends together, but it wasn’t true…”

    Four women have known each other for decades, and have a friendship that goes with it – good-humoured, caring, and forthright when required. But Sylvie has died, and when the remaining three come together to pack up her beach house, they find maybe they haven’t been as honest – or as good friends – as they thought.

    Adele, a once-well-known actress, Wendy, a high-profile academic, and Jude, who ran one of the city’s most celebrated restaurants, learn things they should have learned years ago. There’s a difference between growing old, and growing wise.

    And at the heart of it all, an old dog keeps them company, silently bearing witness to the folly of age, and the warmth of true friendship.

    Powerhouse Museum

    Inspired by computing pioneer Charles Babbage’s proposal that the air is a ‘vast library’ storing every word ever spoken, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s breathtaking immersive art environment invites audiences to celebrate the turbulence and tumult of the atmosphere: invisible but precious, filled with voices and history. If we could 'rewind' air molecules to recreate all voices of… Read More »Atmospheric Memory

    Sydney Opera House

    Miss Saigon tells the story of Chris, an American male GI, who falls in love with Kim, a young Vietnamese orphan who works as a bar-girl and prostitute.

  • School Excursions for Performing Art and Drama students

    WICKED

    Sydney Lyric Theatre

    The Broadway sensation WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

  • The Dismissal

    Seymour Centre

    Newly deposed Prime Minister Gough Whitlam descends the steps of Parliament House to rage against his dismissal by Governor-General Sir John Kerr, who has replaced him with the opposition leader, Malcolm Fraser. A scoop of reporters throng toward him—chief among them Gold Logie-winner, beloved larrikin, and Wollongong’s favourite son: Norman Gunston.

  • 1001 Remarkable Objects

  • The Importance Of Being Ernest

    Roslyn Packer Theatre

    Hilarious, naughty and Wilde
    Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing are two best friends who are both living double lives. In the city they’re playboys with a libertine reputation, but in the country they assume pious alter egos to get away from it all. Things get sticky when love enters the mix and the men have to keep track of who they’re pretending to be and when. Floating haughtily above it all is the withering Lady Bracknell, Victorian London’s socialite extraordinaire and the gatekeeper of all things high society.

  • Summer of Harold

    Ensemble Theatre

    Memories of 1984. London. Phil Collins on MTV. Cassette tapes. Hilary Bell’s new play explores our love for odd things. What is the magic that makes us possessive about objects? Three stories intertwine to take us on a hilarious, poignant and magical journey.

  • The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

    Hayes Theatre

Centred around a very eclectic group of six mid-pubescent teens,… Read More »The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

  • Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar & Grill

    Belvoir St Theatre

    It’s 1959, in a bar in South Philadelphia. It’s a bit rundown. You wouldn’t know it, but we’re in a moment of history – one of Billie Holiday’s legendary last performances. As she sings her set (and it’s the greats – ‘Taint Nobody’s Business If I Do, Strange Fruit, What a Little Moonlight Can Do,… Read More »Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar & Grill
