SUMMARY:Rhinestone Rex & Miss Monica
DESCRIPTION:It’s an age-old question: do opposites attract? More specifically\, could you date someone who had completely different music tastes to you? \nRhinestone Rex and Miss Monica explores this contested idea with oodles of wit and charm through the story of a very unlikely pair. \nIt’s the beginnings of a new friendship between Miss Monica and her contractor Gary. Monica has taken leave from the Sydney Symphony due to tendonitis in her shoulder and decides to employ Gary to install her IKEA-designed decor. \nUnbeknownst to the trained musician\, Gary has an alter ego of Rhinestone Rex\, a washed-up country music star who intends to convince Monica that country music is just as valid as her classical taste. \nBoth single and alone\, a little spark forms between the two\, but are they too dissimilar to match or do opposites attract?

SUMMARY:The Talented Mr. Ripley
DESCRIPTION:From playwriting icon Joanna Murray-Smith comes this ravishing adaptation of the twentieth century’s most glamorous thriller. Following the triumphant success of Julia\, Murray-Smith reunites with director Sarah Goodes to masterfully transform this seductive page-turner into an electrifying\, world-premiere stage experience. \nWill McDonald (Heartbreak High) plays Tom Ripley\, an orphan and a striver\, barely scraping by in 1950s New York. But beneath his woebegone exterior\, Tom cultivates certain talents that set him apart: an extraordinary capacity for mimicry and deception. He is a man with a face no-one remembers. Whereas no one could forget Dickie Greenleaf. He is everything Tom isn’t; confident\, stylish\, and heir to a large fortune. Tom is hired by Dickie’s father to bring his son home and so plunges him into a glittering world of luxury\, beauty and hedonism on the Italian Riviera. Intoxicated with this new social scene\, Tom begins to fashion himself after his target. He begins dancing like Dickie\, dressing like him\, and drinking like him. Tom begins to imagine another version of himself. A better one… and he’ll kill for it. \nFor 70 years Tom Ripley has captivated readers and cinephiles alike. Now\, literature’s most alluring confidence man is brought to life before our eyes in the hands of one of Australia’s great playwrights and most brilliant directors. Also featuring Faisal Hamza\, Andrew McFarlane\, Johnny Nasser and Claude Scott-Mitchell\, The Talented Mr. Ripley promises tension\, passion and spectacular suspense.

SUMMARY:Dying: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:When the acclaimed author Cory Taylor was diagnosed with a terminal illness\, what followed was an astonishing creative surge that resulted in a memoir Barack Obama named as one of his favourite books of 2017. \nTaylor’s wry insights into the rituals\, language and taboos surrounding mortality can be witty\, provocative or eye-opening – sometimes in the same breath. With honesty and unsentimental clarity she confronts the swamp of anxiety and despair that traditionally surrounds death and opens the door to the bright clear-eyed vision it ultimately grants us. Learning to face death is\, in the end\, learning to live fully. \nEqually moving and hilarious\, Taylor’s last work has been adapted with great care by writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law (Torch the Place)\, a family friend of Taylor’s\, who brings a loving ear to this most intimate tale.

SUMMARY:The Breath of Kings
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s Henry 6 plays are one of the great undiscovered gems of Western Literature. An intoxicating mix of violence\, politics and romance\, this civil war is as machiavellian as Succession and as brutal as Game of Thrones. Henry 6 is a rare thing – a religious pacifist in a time of war and his wife the opposite – a ferocious mother willing to destroy an entire country to protect those she loves. But family and country are going to unravel\, and a gleefully malicious Richard of Gloucester is waiting in the wings to take advantage of this chaos. \nThe Breath of Kings is a rare chance to see these plays in all their glory. Burning House will bring their unique blend of ambition and insight to a repertoire season of the Henry 6 plays and Richard 3\, with more adventurous audience members able to watch all plays in a massive five hour long event on weekends. This is theatre at its most ambitious and exciting – and for those of you missing big\, festival epics The Breath of Kings is here to deliver.

SUMMARY:Control by Keziah Warner
DESCRIPTION:For the first time since its original production by Red Stitch Theatre in 2019\, Keziah Warner’s epic sci-fi odyssey Control is back in Melbourne. \nIn the not-so-distant future\, a heavily pregnant ex-ballerina\, a child detective\, a bitter puppeteer and a feminist pop princess hurtle towards Mars in a Big Brother-style spaceship. The world is watching. Isn’t it? \nOn the eve of a revolution\, Nicki and Caroline attempt to gain control over their lives as their AI superior Alex dances the night away. \nAnd on New Earth\, Esta and Isabelle forge hope through a new kind of relationship. \nSpanning across half a century from Melbourne to Mars\, Control is a startling and provocative play by Keziah Warner that delves deep into our relationship with technology: its moral ambiguities\, its dependencies\, and its potential. Control proposes a future where space colonisation meets reality TV; where memories are stored in a government-regulated cloud: where the implementation of AI in education teaches us more about ourselves. This visually striking play confronts audiences with a potential future where humans gradually surrender control of identity\, memory and knowledge-sharing over to technology. \nControl was commissioned by Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre through the INK program and was originally produced by Red Stitch in 2019.\nThis project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body.\nThis work is supported by Darebin Arts through the Darebin Arts Speakeasy Spare Room Program

SUMMARY:Changeling
DESCRIPTION:A raw\, provocative reflection on identity\, belonging and the cost of being authentic to who you are. \nA Child was born before midnight\, beneath the wild eastern wind… \nThis is a small rural community; a community of masks\, a community of personas\, where fairies are evil and folklore are accepted as universal truths\, and the biggest threat of all\, is the changeling child. So when a Child begins to display unnatural traits and skills\, the community is steeped in fear. \nDebuting at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2025\, Changeling is a dark fairytale delving into the stigma experienced by disabled and neurodivergent people through the lens of ‘masked’ theatre. \nBased on European folklore and inspired by the likes of The Crucible\, Changeling explores the damage of ‘othering’\, the dangers of collective paranoia and mob mentality… within a world bearing eerie similarities to our own.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:This preposterous and flamboyant production of The Importance of Being Earnest is a farcical play by Oscar Wilde about two bachelors\, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff\, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape what they believe are their mundane lives. Both men use this deception to woo women who are fixated on the name “Ernest”. \nCelebrated for its wit and repartee\, parodying and gently satirising late Victorian manners\, this version of the play deems to poke fun at quintessential Britishness and the pomposity of the upper class. \nWe bring to you two Victorian philanderers (which could be putting it nicely)\, Jack and Algernon\, as well as the likes of the formidable Lady Bracknell\, the glamorous Gwendolen Fairfax\, the ever-curious Cecily Cardew\, the bumbling Dr Frederick Chasuble\, the indifferent Miss Laetitia Prism\, ever devoted Lane and Merriman\, as well as A Handbag!

SUMMARY:Punk Rock
DESCRIPTION:Lunatix Theatre Presents: Punk Rock by Simon Stephens \nA Raw and Unflinching Look at Adolescence\, Pressure\, and the Chaos Beneath the Surface \nLunatix Theatre proudly announces its bold new production of Punk Rock by acclaimed British playwright Simon Stephens\, opening September 17th at Meat Market (Stables). Known for its visceral energy and chilling relevance\, Punk Rock dives headfirst into the emotional turbulence of teenage life with razor-sharp dialogue\, haunting insight\, and explosive drama. \nSet in a grammar school library in Stockport\, England\, Punk Rock follows a group of sixth-form students as they navigate the mounting pressures of exams\, relationships\, identity\, and an uncertain future. As tensions simmer and the cracks in their carefully constructed worlds begin to show\, the play builds to a devastating crescendo that forces audiences to confront the consequences of silence\, neglect\, and societal pressure. \nDirected by Jay Wood\, this production brings Lunatix Theatre’s trademark raw energy and youthful urgency to a play that has never felt more relevant. In a time where mental health\, violence\, and the complexity of identity are front and centre in public discourse\, Punk Rock cuts deep — daring audiences to question how we listen\, how we support\, and how we fail the next generation. \n“This is a play that demands your attention\, not just as a theatre-goer\, but as a human being. But it’s also about the moments of connection\, humour\, and humanity that exist within chaos. It holds a mirror up to how we live—and how we ignore the signs.” – Maddie Richards \, Artistic Director \nWith a cast of emerging Melbourne talent\, stark and immersive staging\, and a punk-fuelled undercurrent driving the emotional charge\, Punk Rock is not just a night at the theatre — it’s a wake-up call. \nTrigger Warning: This production contains themes of mental illness\, violence\, bullying\, death\, smoking and strong language. Recommended for ages 16+.

SUMMARY:Looking for Alibrandi
DESCRIPTION:Josie Alibrandi is in her final year of high school. Whip-smart and aspirational\, she is a third-generation Italian teenager and scholarship kid\, with the shadow of a family curse and a penchant for rule-breaking.\nJuggling grades\, boys\, and the claustrophobia of an overbearing Nonna and saintly mother\, Josie’s life becomes tangled in the webs of class\, identity\, and family history as she finds her place in a changing world. \nIconic novel and cult movie\, Looking for Alibrandi is the honest and empowered portrait of 1990s Mediterranean culture that spoke for the first time about systemic racism in Australia from a migrant perspective. It defined a generation and to this day resonates with those caught in the stranglehold of identity and othering in this country. \nAward winning director Stephen Nicolazzo (Loaded\, Merciless Gods) brought Melina Marchetta’s best-selling novel to the stage for the first time in 2022\, where Vidya Rajan’s AWGIE nominated adaptation joined three generations of women in a passionate\, heart wrenching\, and unmissable rendering of the Australian classic.
