Editor's Choice Calamity Jane

One Eyed Man Productions: Calamity Jane

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Step inside the Golden Garter Saloon and enter the Wild West as Virginia Gay reprises the role of the legendary frontierswoman Calamity Jane (for which she won a Sydney Theatre Award).

Editor's Choice The Play That Goes Wrong

GMG Productions: The Play That Goes Wrong

Regal Theatre 474 Hay St, Subiaco, WA, Australia
If you just want a good laugh, look no further than The Play That Goes Wrong, in which the inept Cornley Drama Society attempts to stage a 1920s murder mystery. It’s not as clever as Michael Frayn’s inspired Noises Off, but it’s fun. Co-written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry…
The Talented Mr Ripley

Sydney Theatre Company: The Talented Mr Ripley

Arts Centre Melbourne Forecourt, 100 St Kilda Road, Southbank, VIC, Australia
Will McDonald (Heartbreak High) plays Tom Ripley, an orphan and a striver, barely scraping by in 1950s New York.

Following seasons in Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra, Willy Russell’s life-affirming one-woman play, which premiered in 1986, is headed for Sydney and Brisbane with Natalie Bassingthwaighte as Shirley.

Bell Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet

Geelong Arts Centre 81 Ryrie Street, Geelong, VIC, Australia
