SUMMARY:Soldier Boy
DESCRIPTION:by anthony hill \n“Once in a generation a mysterious wish for war passes through the people. Their instinct tells them that there is no other way of progress and of escape from habits that no longer fit them . . . There is no other way. Only by intense sufferings can the nations grow” – Sir Ian Hamilton\, Commander in Chief\, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force\, Gallipoli Campaign. \nAt just 14 years old\, Private James Martin enlisted to fight for his country\, not knowing he would never return home. SOLDIER BOY  follows his journey from Melbourne to the battlefields of Gallipoli. \nThis bold new production depicts the final hours of James Martin as he grapples with his choice to serve\, the loved ones he left behind\, and his legacy. A constantly evolving landscape of memory and reality illuminates the stark contrasts between the innocence of youth and the brutal realities of combat. \nThis visually and emotionally charged retelling of SOLDIER BOY honours Jim’s story while offering a fresh\, contemporary perspective on the ANZAC legacy—bridging history and the present in a new theatre of war.

SUMMARY:Blackrock
DESCRIPTION:“One mistake. One life. One community torn apart.” \nIt’s Toby Ackland’s birthday party down near the surf club and that should mean heaps of grog\, drugs and good clean fun. But by the morning a young girl is dead raped by three boys and bashed with a rock. \nWho is responsible? The boy? The girl? Or the whole town.\nBlackrock\, playwright Nick Enright’s play about a teen party which culminates with a brutal rape and murder on the beach\, was deeply disturbing when it was written 30 years ago. Sadly many of the themes\, which swirl around the narrative after the tragic event\, still resonant today as Australia struggles with issues of domestic abuse\, respect and gender equality. \nBlackrock was originally adapted from a 45-minute piece by Enright\, A Property of the Clan\, that was inspired by the sexual assault and murder of 14-year-old Leigh Reannea Mears\, near Newcastle in 1989. The award-winning play premiered in 1995\, became a film in 1997\, and was critically acclaimed. \nLunatix presents this intimate and strongly shaped human drama focusing in on the social forces behind the male impulse to violence and the community’s response in the aftermath\, which are actively relevant in today society. \nFeaturing a strong cast of performers including\, Fletcher Von Arx\, Bailey Griffiths\, Sabrina Hault\, Olivia Mitchell\, Javier Lumsden\, James Parker\, Samuel John\, Isabel Dickson\, Charlotte Palmer\, Cassandra Hart\, Hayley Michaels and Matt Young. \nFor more information regarding the femicide epidemic in Australia: https://australianfemicidewatch.org

SUMMARY:SUGAR
DESCRIPTION:Following a sold-out Melbourne Fringe 2024 season and still raving from a national tour\, SUGAR has been invited to perform at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 and they need your help to get there. \nThis special gala event features the full SUGAR experience with guest appearances by Australian musical rockstar Victoria Falconer (Hedwig and the Angry Inch)\, cabaret drag icons Iva Rosebud and Skank Sinatra\, and more to be announced\, all coming together to raise funds towards SUGAR’S international debut. \nSUGAR is the story of a radiantly-beautiful gender-fluid twink who discovers that there’s money to be made from ‘transactional relationships’ (though their primary source of information is Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman). What could go wrong? \nPop hits from Kylie to Chappell Roan pack this electric cabaret about luxury\, power and being paid to have sex on a grand piano.
