SUMMARY:37 by Nathan Maynard
DESCRIPTION:Lace up your boots! Whether you’re a footy fanatic or not\, the Cutting Cove boys are back. \nThe laugh-out-loud hit of Melbourne Theatre Company’s Season 2024 returns after winning the hearts of critics and audiences alike. \nThe local footy team of this small coastal town has spent too long at the bottom of the ladder. But then a new hope arrives: the Marngrook cousins. Named after the Aboriginal game that inspired AFL\, they’re match-fit to bring home the team’s first flag in forever. 37 juxtaposes choreographed sequences of Marngrook and the modern game with the hilarity and at-times questionable banter found within sporting clubs around Australia. \nSet within the era of Adam Goodes’s war cry – and named for the number he immortalised – 37 asks ten actors to throw themselves into this world of blood and grit to get at the values that drive a national obsession. Community\, identity\, the price of winning and the meaning of a goal: they’re all up for grabs. \nPenned by Nathan Maynard – twice named Tasmanian Aboriginal Artist of the Year – and directed by Isaac Drandic (The Birthday Party\, ABC’s Cleverman)\, 37 is a reminder that honest conversations are more than a ball toss. It matters where you stand.

SUMMARY:Constellations
DESCRIPTION:Suppose that life exists in a multiverse — a set of parallel existences that contain infinitely different futures. The possibilities in our lives are\, quite literally\, endless. Every possible event that could happen\, does happen\, in one universe or another. And if two lovers meet — are drawn together in every version of existence — every possible happy ending and heartbreak that could befall them\, will. \nAs heartrending as it is beautiful\, Constellations is Nick Payne’s gloriously romantic award-winning hit\, with London Productions earning both the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play in 2012\, and the 2022 Olivier Award for Best Play Revival. Nick Payne’s beautiful play\, Constellations\, explores how even the smallest change in our lives can dramatically alter the course we take. It is a spellbinding exploration of love\, science\, quantum theory\, and infinite possibility for heartbreak or for hope.

SUMMARY:Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:The Macbeths are back with their unparalleled thirst for the ultimate power of the throne. \n“Their passion for each other is absolute in every way\, as much metaphysical as erotic. The lust for power fuses with mutual desire and enhances the turbulence.” \nA stunning mix of mind games and manipulation\, sparked by the prophesies of three witches that Macbeth encounters on the heath as he returns from war\, triggers his burning ambition which in turn ignites an inferno in his wife to inspire him to kill for the crown. \nInvading armies\, blood\, dark magic\, sabotage\, power\, storms and ghosts of our pasts. Take all the spirits of those who have strived for power and relentlessly fought for control. This is the story of Macbeth. \n‍“Macbeth\, accusing himself of poor malice or inadequate slaughter\, rouses himself to an apocalyptic ambition to tear apart the universe itself\, destroying this world and the world to come.” \n‍
