Life’s joys and struggles aired in a wonderful new play by Steve Rodgers, set at an aquatic centre.
Life’s joys and struggles aired in a wonderful new play by Steve Rodgers, set at an aquatic centre.
A nerdy passion for vintage infrastructure and a fondness for people watching have informed Steve Rodgers' latest play, set in a public swimming pool.
One Queenslander, two Sydneysiders in the running for one of Australia's richest playwriting prizes.
Iain Grandage delivers his final Perth Festival as Artistic Director, one set to warm hearts and minds.
Perth’s Black Swan offers "ways to see the world through the lives of others" in a season that kicks off poolside.
This production is a bracing, sharp-witted and entertaining contemporary retelling of a provocative feminist classic, which still feels depressingly relevant.
This new stage adaptation of the much-loved mockumentary film is joyously uplifting, and touching too at times.
The season includes seven plays, five of which are Australian and four of them world premieres, as well as three cabaret shows.
This adaptation of Peter Goldsworthy’s novella is big-hearted but not fully realised in its look at love and death.
An entertaining, well-cast production of Neil Simon's affectionate 1960s comedy about male friendship.
The line-up includes David Williamson's final play, a co-production with Sydney Festival, and seven plays written by women.
Kate Mulvany is brilliant in this raw but heartfelt, life-affirming show.
Highlights include an epic in Sydney Town Hall, a new play about the Packer Dynasty, and Colin Friels in Life of Galileo.
