La Boite Theatre’s 2026 season spans ancient Greece, zombie-infested Australia, corporate space missions and a mother-daughter reunion in Seoul in a four-show season championing new voices and new perspectives on our turulent times.

Opening on the eve of International Women’s Day, Antigone (5–21 March) launches the season with raw energy and political fire. Artistic Director Courtney Stewart (Macbeth, Congratulations, Get Rich! ) teams up with fight and intimacy specialist Nigel Poulton to deliver a visceral, three-hander reinterpretation of Sophocles’ timeless tragedy. At its centre is a young woman who refuses to be silenced: Antigone’s defiance of a king’s decree becomes a rallying cry against tyranny and moral complacency.

Starring Maddison Burridge and Billy Fogarty, the production promises a charged collision of poetry, power and protest that feels as contemporary as the nightly news.
