Melbourne Theatre Company: The Removalists

Southbank Theatre Southbank, VIC, Australia
David Williamson’s dark satire The Removalists premiered in 1971 but remains as shocking as ever. Set in an inner suburb of Melbourne, two sisters report an act of domestic violence to the police, hoping things will be quickly resolved. However, the local constabulary likes to handle things its own way.…

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…

Queensland Theatre: Calamity Jane

Bille Brown Theatre 78 Montague Rd, South Brisbane, QLD
First seen at Sydney’s Hayes Theatre Co in 2107, Richard Carroll’s inspired, side-splitting production, starring Virginia Gay in the title role, proved an enormous hit.

JONES Theatrical Group: Hadestown

Theatre Royal, Sydney 108 King St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary musical theatre retelling of the doomed love story of Orpheus and Eurydice is cleverly combined with another Greek myth – Hades’ abduction of Persephone, the goddess of the seasons. The mesmerising score, which draws on New Orleans jazz, blues, American folk, gospel and railroad songs, is brilliantly…
