    Sydney Theatre Company: The Shiralee

    Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
    Kate Mulvany did a fabulous job adapting Ruth Park’s Harp in the South trilogy for Sydney Theatre Company. Now she has turned her attention to the 1955 Australian classic The Shiralee, written by D’Arcy Niland (who was married to Park). The story centres on Macauley, a rugged swagman, who roams Australia…

    Naturism

    Griffin Theatre Company: Naturism

    Wharf 2 Theatre The Wharf, Dawes Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia
    No internet. No intruders. No clothes. Far from the trappings of civilisation, a group of nudist baby boomers have created their very own off-grid bush eco-paradise. An unseasonably hot summer approaches, but no worries! They’ve got enough preserves, pickles, and Fleetwood Mac to get them through it… probably. Enter Evangeline—a…

    Editor's Choice Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    Sydney Theatre Company: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    Roslyn Packer Theatre 22 Hickson Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia
    When Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre presented Edward Albee’s corrosive black comedy in late 2023, with Kat Stewart as Martha and her real-life husband David Whiteley as George, the season sold out before it opened and extended. Hailed as “electrifying”, the production, directed by Sarah Goodes, then had a commercial season at…
    Dying: A Memoir

    Melbourne Theatre Company: Dying: A Memoir

    Arts Centre Melbourne Forecourt, 100 St Kilda Road, Southbank, VIC, Australia
    When the acclaimed author Cory Taylor was diagnosed with a terminal illness, what followed was an astonishing creative surge that resulted in a memoir Barack Obama named as one of his favourite books of 2017. Taylor’s wry insights into the rituals, language and taboos surrounding mortality can be witty, provocative or eye-opening…

    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…

    This November the Blue Room Theatre is our salon, and you’re invited.  We love our playwrights sweating away in ivory towers (or at their Mum’s house). We love the words on the page. But our artform must, at its most essential, be heard. So, lend us your ears.  A range…
