Sunnyside

Sunnyside Art: Sunnyside

Mining Exchange Building 12 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, VIC, Australia
The inaugural edition welcomes internationally acclaimed UK artist Morag Myerscough to transform Ballarat's creative heart into a fantastical new nature-inspired work, Chasing Sunbeams. This exhibition will be displayed at the historic Ballarat Mining Exchange Building and will then extend into a wandering through surrounding laneways and spaces. A celebration of…
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 Shiralee

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…
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…
Red Ryder is Script Teasing

Red Ryder Productions: Red Ryder is Script Teasing

The Blue Room Theatre 53 James St, Perth, WA, Australia
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…
A Thing Called Birthday

Shopfront Arts Co-Op: A Thing Called a Birthday

Shopfront Arts Co-Op 86-88 Carlton Pde, Carlton, NSW, Australia
Do we need another hero? This is a much debated question but the answer is probably, yes! Do you like births? Do you like days? We've combined the two into one concept- a birthday! Do you like tights and mortality? Join us for our Birth Day celebration! Where:... When:... How:...…
So Young

Outhouse Theatre Co: So Young

The Old Fitz Theatre 129 Dowling St, Woolloomooloo, NSW, Australia
Summer 2021. Lockdown is over. Just. Three months ago Milo lost his wife to Covid. She was only forty-five. So young. Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals, Davie and Liane, to come round and drink some wine, listen to some tunes and reminisce about the old days. And…
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 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). Adapted from the much-loved film starring Doris Day, this stripped-back, rough-and-ready reimagining of the classic musical, directed by Richard…
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. But beneath his woebegone exterior, Tom cultivates certain talents that set him apart: an extraordinary capacity for mimicry and deception. He is a man with a face no-one remembers. Whereas no…
Editor's Choice The Lovers

shake & stir theatre co: The Lovers

Theatre Royal, Sydney 108 King St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Laura Murphy’s electrifying musical The Lovers, inspired by The Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was first staged by Bell Shakespeare in 2022. This new production by Shake & Stir Theatre Co won rave reviews when it premiered at this year’s Brisbane Festival and has now arrived in Sydney. Focusing on…
Editor's Choice The Book of Mormon

JONES Theatrical Group: The Book of Mormon

Capitol Theatre, Sydney 13 Campbell St, Haymarket, NSW
Hello! The Mormons are back! First seen in Australia in 2017, The Book of Mormon is blasphemous, scurrilous, puerile, rude, satirical – and one of the funniest, sweetest, most joyous musicals ever staged. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with Robert Lopez, the 2011 show won…
