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:Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again
DESCRIPTION:Alice Birch’s Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. is a ferocious work of contemporary theatre that refuses to behave. Through sharp\, surreal and darkly funny vignettes\, it twists words into weapons and turns everyday rituals inside out. What begins as an assault on the language and traditions that have shaped “womanhood” becomes something larger: a call to tear down the systems of oppression that divide and diminish us all. \nIn 2025\, we explore this play through an intersectional lens inspired by bell hooks’ insistence that feminism is for everybody—across race\, class and all gender expressions. Our company of artists bring their collective force to the stage\, confronting the very structures we are working and breathing within. Revolt is startling and disarming\, a howl of protest and maybe a map toward possibility: unflinching\, unapologetic and urgently alive. \n“Theatrical exhilaration in civil disobedience.” — The New York Times\nDirected by Emily O’Brien-Brown

SUMMARY:Sabotage
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the layover from hell. \nThe Protagonist is ready to board a one-way flight to destination unknown\, but a series of delays delivers an unexpected passenger\, the Antagonist\, his older\, more accomplished self. What begins as a reunion quickly spirals into a surreal showdown: who really knows who best\, and who gets to move forward? \nPart Waiting for Godot\, part Looper\, if they were bisexual men stuck in Tullamarine\, the Protagonist and Antagonist are stranded at Melbourne’s premier airport with emotional baggage to burn. \nA tender battleground of ego\, regret and missed connections\, Sabotage skewers ambition and holds self-love under siege in a wry take on the quarter-life crisis. Because when you’re boarding a flight to nowhere\, all runways lead back to you.
