Fences might strike some as old-fashioned. But this production’s power to immerse you in the lives of others is undeniable.
Two world premieres adapted from South Australian books, a brand-new production of Prima Facie and a controversial classic by Edward Albee are among the highlights.
Anne-Louise Sarks says her inaugural MTC season offers new perspectives and tells familiar stories in new ways in order to open up conversation and attract new audiences.
The exciting season includes a Sondheim musical, two new Indigenous plays among seven Australian stories, and an adaptation of a best-selling Australian novel.
Lorraine Hansberry's landmark play is an emotionally layered work of intellectual sensitivity; this Australian mainstage premiere more than does it justice.
Act 2 features Richard Roxburgh as Prospero in The Tempest, Meyne Wyatt’s City of Gold, and the premiere of five new plays by Australian playwrights.
Using 22 Bob Dylan songs, this play with music, set in 1934 during the Great Depression, gradually draws you into its world and leaves you filled with emotion.
When he was approached by Bob Dylan's people to pitch to use the singer-songwriter’s music to create a work, Irish playwright Conor McPherson knew it had to be set in Dylan's hometown during the Depression.
This new production doesn't always hit the mark, but it is inventive, audacious and imaginative, with three superb performances, and it certainly makes you see the play afresh.
The musical Girl from the North Country, featuring around 20 songs by Bob Dylan, will open at Sydney's refurbished Theatre Royal in January.
Carmel Dean’s exhilarating new song cycle celebrates women through the ages.
The season will include the world premiere of the musical The Dismissal, Glace Chase's Triple X, and the return of The Picture of Dorian Gray starring Eryn Jean Norvill.
