SUMMARY:The Thrill of Love
DESCRIPTION:A divorcee with a young child to care for\, Ruth works in the kind of nightclubs where there’s more than just a drink on offer. The girls work hard\, play hard and dream of a movie-star life. \nThen she meets the wealthy\, womanising David\, a racing driver with whom she becomes obsessed. Fame comes — but not in the way she imagines. \nWhy does their relationship end in murder?\nWhy does she plead not guilty but offer no defence?\nWhy does she show no remorse?\nAnd who is she trying to protect? \nAmanda Whittington’s play The Thrill of Love tells the true story of Ruth Ellis\, the last woman to be hanged in Britain\, and takes a fresh look at the woman behind the headlines.

SUMMARY:The Comeuppance
DESCRIPTION:The Comeuppance by American playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins will get its Australian debut\, following its acclaimed world premiere at Off-Broadway’s Signature Theatre last year. Directed by the award-winning Gary Abrahams (Iphigenia In Splott\, Red Stitch; Yentl\, Arts Centre Melbourne; Admissions\, Melbourne Theatre Company)\, this masterful new work centres on a group of friends who gather on the night of their 20th high school reunion. What unfolds is a haunting\, timely satire that tests friendships\, while mortality looms at the edge of the party. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist\, Jacobs-Jenkins’ astute script is brilliantly witty and theatrical.

SUMMARY:The Boys
DESCRIPTION:A family bound by an unthinkable crime. A past that keeps repeating\, a lesson still unlearned. \nGordan Graham’s play\, The Boys\, is a powerful and unsettling exploration of family and gendered violence\, examining its ripple effects on the women left in its wake. Originally inspired by the events surrounding the Anita Cobby murder\, this fictionalised account offers an intimate look at the lives of three brothers and the forces that shaped them. \nGreen Room nominated Director\, Tess Walsh\, brings this urgent story to the stage with a modernised setting—underscoring that these cycles of violence are not relics of the past but continue to be deeply ingrained in our society. The production challenges the audience to confront the complexities of these issues and reflect on the role we all play in dismantling harmful attitudes. By placing this harrowing story in the safety of a theatre setting\, The Boys invites audiences to witness\, reflect\, and engage in vital conversations about change.

SUMMARY:The Black Woman of Gippsland
DESCRIPTION:From Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) comes The Black Woman of Gippsland – a story of Victoria’s dark past that is in dire need of revisiting\, told as a thrilling modern mystery that unfolds with beauty\, tragedy and rebellion. \nA woman is tossed ashore from the sea\, bedraggled and lost. A century and a half later\, another finds herself diving deep into the truth behind a lingering legend. \nJacinta’s family is driving her up the wall and her academic career is floundering\, but amongst the books\, something doesn’t feel right about the story history tells. The myths and half-truths that surround the figure of a ‘white woman’ said to have lived among the Gunaikurnai people of Gippsland in the 1840s are so abundant it seems the reality is out of reach. But Jacinta is determined to unearth the truth for herself and her Gunaikurnai family no matter the twists and turns the journey might take her on. \nBased on real events and set on Andrea’s grandmother’s country\, The Black Woman of Gippsland is a poetic\, emotionally rich and clever embracing of First Nations stories that have long been silenced.

SUMMARY:The Birds
DESCRIPTION:Overnight\, the weather has turned in a small town. A war has been declared and there’s no one who can stop it.\nOne family sounds the warning\, but what can you do when denial is as easy as keeping your head down? \nAward-winning actor Paula Arundell (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) sends your pulse sky-rocketing in this adrenaline-shot adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic gothic horror that Hitchcock immortalised in film. \nLights off\, headphones on\, it is time to be immersed in a theatrical feat of audio engineering. Enter a nightmarish soundscape of flying feathers\, murderous swoops and thrilling carnage directed by Matthew Lutton (responsible for making you scream during Picnic at Hanging Rock). \nAs you dodge and duck out of reach\, just remember: the big-wigs in the city won’t save you.

SUMMARY:The Housekeeper
DESCRIPTION:Floundering a bit after the death of his aged mother\, Manley Carstairs\, a selfstyled literary artist\, engages a housekeeper\, Annie Dankworth\, to look after his large Victorian house (and himself). \nWhen Annie first arrives\, wearing sneakers and carrying her belongings in a grocery cart\, Manley is taken aback\, but she seems so eager to please that he relents—after which their relationship progresses rapidly from initial reserve to active hatred.\nAnnie is one of the world’s great oddballs. She insults her employer\, denigrates his writing\, admits she forged her references\, accuses Manley of lusting after her and\, in general\, makes his life a hell. \nThe play covers all these unlikely events with lively wit and biting humor\, becoming funnier and funnier as it builds toward its unexpected and thoroughly delightful conclusion.

SUMMARY:How To Hold A Sign
DESCRIPTION:It’s going to be a scorcher in Melbourne today\, and Aoife and Jackie have pulled a 12 hour shift. Standing at opposite ends of a roadwork site\, the two women realise that they couldn’t be more different. Aoife\, earnest and outgoing\, smiles warmly at passing cars through her lipstick and lashes\, while Jackie\, practical to her bones\, waves cars on with a seasoned shrug. As traffic ebbs and flows\, they find themselves caught between obeying the rules and rewriting them. \nEqual parts sly comedy and feminist critique\, How to Hold a Sign is\, above all\, a play about solidarity; a story of two women bonding and surviving in a male-dominated world. It is a love letter to working-class resilience\, a comment on systemic inequities and a celebration of the power of connection. With wit and heart\, the play invites audiences to linger on the margins\, look deeper and discover the complexities that lie in something as deceptively simple as a bright vest and a steady arm. \nBabble Productions brings their unique brand of humour\, storytelling and a touch of rebellion to the stage in this untold Aussie story.

SUMMARY:Scenes From The Climate Era

An invigoratingly honest portrayal of what it’s like to engage with climate change conversations (and be alive!) right this second.”\nLimelight \n“The world’s biggest story\, told in 50 plays over 80 minutes”\nThe Guardian
