The Westin 205 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Gesualdo Tenebrae

Luminescence Chamber Singers: Gesualdo Tenebrae

Wesley Uniting Church, Forrest (Wesley Music Centre) 20-22 National Circuit, Forrest, ACT, Australia
More than 400 years later, the music of Carlo Gesualdo still seems strikingly avant-garde. Composed for his own private use during his final years, and likely unheard during his lifetime, Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories are of unmatched intensity. This is music at the end of an epoch; at once steeped in…
Milo Standards

The (drag) king of comedy is coming to Newcastle! The terrifying alter-ego of feminist comedian Kate Smurthwaite unzips the trousers of truth and lays it on the table. With dating tips from his hit podcast The Schlong Game and masculinity so toxic Woodside would pump it in the sea, Milo…
An Imaginary Life

Ten Days On The Island: An Imaginary Life

Burnie Uniting Church 58-66 Mount St, Burnie, TAS, Australia
An intimate duet for actor and musician, this is a story about learning to live wherever we find ourselves. It’s about coexisting with those who are already here and finding a sense of belonging by understanding who we are and who we can become in a place. An Imaginary Life,…

ROOKE: Wilds

Earl Arts Centre 10 Earl Street, Launceston, TAS, Australia
In this bold physical work, witness strength, connectivity, fragility, and humanity’s profound bond with the earth beneath us. The elements of the earth and the cycles of life clash in a battle of wills. How much can be given? Can we ever truly conquer nature, or are we forever bound…

Editor's Choice Bloom

Sydney Theatre Company: Bloom

Roslyn Packer Theatre 22 Hickson Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia
This new Australian musical played to sold-out houses when it premiered at Melbourne Theatre Company in 2023. The fact that Tom Gleisner of Working Dog fame (The Castle, The Dish, Utopia, Have You Been Paying Attention?) wrote the book and lyrics was doubtless part of the appeal. Bloom (with music…
