SUMMARY:Fledermaus!
DESCRIPTION:Fledermaus! is a story of revenge\, infidelity\, disguises\, and imprisonment decorated by Strauss’s splendid waltzes. With its glorious music\, wonderful singing\, and a charming and witty libretto\, GSOV offers two opportunities to see this joyful work of genius. The first is in the beautiful shady garden setting of The Knowe\, an historic cottage in Sassafras. Tickets are strictly limited and this summer presentation always sells out quickly. The second is the recently refurbished\, The Round Studio. \nA Viennese gentleman\, Gabriel von Eisenstein\, who should be heading to prison for whacking a policeman and calling him a “dummkof”\, ends up going to a grand party at the villa of the Russian Prince Orlovsky! \nHowever\, von Eisenstein has been lured into a trap concocted by Dr Falke\, his once rival for the heart of Rosalinda. Meanwhile\, believing her husband von Eisenstein is imprisoned\, Rosalinda has agreed to Dr Falke’s invitation to attend the same party disguised as an Hungarian Countess! Falke’s aim is simple: revenge and to enjoy von Eisenstein’s embarrassment. \nBut it seems that even further mischief is afoot as Adele\, the von Eisenstein’s maid\, also attends the party in Rosalinda’s best dress! Inevitably\, too much champagne is consumed resulting in a hilarious mixture of disguises and wrongdoings. However\, through the splendid magic of operetta\, all ends happily! \nFledermaus! will be presented in costume with accompaniment from a quartet of players in the delightful garden of the historical The Knowe\, Sassafras\, as well as the Studio at The Round.

SUMMARY:Honour
DESCRIPTION:The season will open in February with a 30th anniversary production of Honour\, a defining work by one of the country’s most accomplished playwrights\, Joanna Murray-Smith (Julia\, Switzerland). Multi-award-winning director Sam Strong (commissioned and directed Boy Swallows Universe; commissioned FANGIRLS\, QPAC) will return to Red Stitch for the first time in over a decade to direct this revival\, which brings Murray-Smith’s poignant exploration of infidelity and identity back to Melbourne after it first captivated audiences in 1995.

SUMMARY:Never Have I Ever
DESCRIPTION:A night to remember? More like a nightmare best left behind. \nA modern take on Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\, this savagely funny Australian premiere comes from the host of The Guilty Feminist podcast and features a powerhouse cast\, including Chika Ikogwe (Heartbreak High)\, Simon Gleeson (Les Misérables)\, Katie Robertson (Five Bedrooms)\, and Sunny S Walia (Shantaram). \nTwo couples gather for a final meal to mark the end of their failed restaurant venture\, but as the wine flows\, so do the long-buried secrets. Fueled by top-shelf alcohol and years of simmering tension\, a seemingly harmless drinking game reveals the power struggles\, resentments\, and fears lurking beneath their friendships. And that’s just the beginning. \nBeneath the laughter\, flirtation\, and casual banter lies a bubbling mix of money\, sex\, race\, and class—served up with biting wit. Never Have I Ever is sharp\, shocking\, and a testament to just how volatile personal politics can be.

SUMMARY:Fresno
DESCRIPTION:Fresno is an exciting\, fresh Australian work written by Josh Connell\, Jeremy Harland and James Greaves. Best described as a ‘Cheers! Musical written in the style of Come From Away’. \nFresno sets itself in a traditional Irish-American bar\, that explores the life of a young bartender named JJ\, and the network of friends\, bar regulars and found family that surround him. \nIt also tackles many issues faced by young people in society today such as: the cost of living crisis; alcoholism; and the affects of gentrification. It is based in Fresno\, California but written with a distinctly Australian humour which undercuts the idealisations of the American Dream and reinforces the Aussie love for an underdog. \nThe music ‘has been written with a classic musical theatre feel\, reminiscent of old school story driver songs rather than the clunky interludes shoehorned in that do little for the narrative’. \nAfter a resounding success for it’s ‘In Concert’ development showing at The Butterfly Club in March 2024\, Fresno is having its official debut at Chapel Off Chapel in February 2025. \nPresented by J.M Harland & J. R Connell

SUMMARY:Goldfish
DESCRIPTION:Reality and fantasy collide in Goldfish. It’s a dynamic\, inventive performance — a game of eye spy on stage\, where everyday items are transformed through the communal magic of suspended disbelief. \nA solo puppeteer spins a fable for children. We hear a story of people who get rid of time: no night\, no day. This creates a flood\, devastating the land. But when two disaster recovery workers suddenly burst into the theatre\, fiction becomes fact and a new story demands to be told. \nGoldfish is a ground-breaking collaboration between celebrated Tasmanian puppetry company Terrapin and Japan’s Aichi Prefectural Art Theater\, with performers from Australia and Japan. The show does not travel with a set. Instead\, a new set is made for each season using the materials of disaster recovery unique to each place. These materials are then donated to key organisations working in disaster management.

SUMMARY:Pain Drunk
DESCRIPTION:Luca\, a free-spirited artist\, and Colette\, a pragmatic but restless Phd student and tutor\, collide in a whirlwind romance. Their attraction is instantaneous\, igniting a passionate relationship filled with creativity\, laughter\, and intense connection. Yet\, as their lives intertwine\, the very qualities that draw them together also drive them apart. \nOver the course of two years\, the stage transforms from their euphoric first encounters to the chaos of shared living. As Luca’s spontaneity and inability to communicate clashes with Colette’s desire for stability and closed off nature\, their differences unravel into fiery arguments\, confrontations\, and moments of tender vulnerability. Each scene explores the push and pull of their love—a dance between longing and frustration\, desire and disappointment. \nDespite their struggles\, they remain inexplicably bound to each other\, grappling with the realisation that while they are not meant to be\, the pull of their connection is impossible to ignore. As they confront their fears and insecurities\, they must decide whether to embrace the tumult or seek the solace of separation.

SUMMARY:The Removalists
DESCRIPTION:David Williamson’s The Removalists is still as provocative and relevant as it was at its debut. \nWhen The Removalists premiered at Melbourne’s La Mama Theatre in 1971 it put a wrecking ball through the walls of genteel Australian theatre. Profane\, honest and arresting in its depiction of the animal side of humanity\, its most surprising revelation is in how little has changed. \nSet in an inner-suburb of Melbourne\, Fiona and Kate report an act of violence to the police hoping things will be resolved peacefully. However\, the local constabulary like to handle things their own way. Over the course of one evening the hidden currents of competition\, desire and brutality flowing beneath polite society will be dragged out into the open. \nAnne-Louise Sarks directs the bracing revival of this dark satire in a production that sets its gaze on Australia – right here\, right now – and refuses to blink. \nMelbourne Theatre Company celebrates the ongoing legacy of La Mama Theatre’s bold\, unflinching contributions to the independent theatre scene by contributing $5 from the sale of each on-stage ticket during our 2025 season of The Removalists.
