SUMMARY:Fountain Lakes in Lockdown: A Drag Parody Play
DESCRIPTION:It’s August 2021. Kath is up to pussy’s bow in sour dough. Kel’s commemorative pork and bat sausage flopped. Kim’s been asked to work from home (though that was because her colleagues prefer she doesn’t come into the office). Sharon has had a severe reaction to all the hand sanitiser. \nRelive the uniquely Melbourne pandemic experience through the eyes of these uniquely Melbourne characters hilariously parodied by Art Simone\, Thomas Jaspers\, Leasa Mann and Scott Brennan. With quick wit and camp tunes\, this will be a fabulous night out for everyone!

SUMMARY:All the Rest
DESCRIPTION:All the Rest at Theatreworks.  A failed art gallery proposal and four house parties all on the same night. Could you think of a more cliché night for a struggling artist? \nJames is a painter whose rose-tinted view of the world is quickly brought to reality once he realises nothing is truly original – including his own work. And so\, he does what any sensible person would do: try to get drunk and forget about it. \n“All the Rest” is a dramedy all about the search for individuality\, embracing imperfections\, and finding human connection amidst a world filled with conformity and replication. Written by Law Revue alumni Finn McGrath. The show has a fast-paced wit while it dives into the introspective nature of creativity. It hopes to leave you grinning\, whilst also leaving you overthinking your biggest life decisions – the perfect balance.

SUMMARY:Laundry Shoot!
DESCRIPTION:Laundry Shoot at Theatreworks.  In a laundry chute\, a school teacher talks to God. Meanwhile\, two posties start their rounds the morning an unknown invasion threatens their quiet community. As the day progresses\, time and reality distort: the sun rises in the south-west\, a dog can shapeshift\, and there’s a boy missing. As the characters’ lives intersect\, what is real and what have they created? Also\, Enya is playing. \nWe all know the apocalyptic narrative that percolates around the idea of “the end times”. This story isn’t about heroes or villains struggling with the disaster that is the world – it’s about who people pretend to be when it all goes to shit. That sometimes those people are weird. And funny. And can form genuine\, life-affirming connections. This new work from award-winning playwright Dora Abraham combines naturalistic text and dream-like movement to explore the power fantasy holds as a way to survive when the world has ended. \nLaundry Shoot closes 13 January 2024.

SUMMARY:Claire Come Home
DESCRIPTION:Content Warning: The following content contains discussions or references to suicide\, self-harm\, or related topics. \n“Little mouse\, we hold you a funeral. I’m sorry you were dead in our junk draws. I’m sorry I threw you across the room. I hope you flew.” \nLook. I don’t want to kill myself\, it’s just… I do think about cutting my hands off.\nBeth\, Claire’s best friend\, is stuck at home. Jared\, Claire’s boyfriend\, is here too.\nBut Claire isn’t at home. Claire is in hospital recovering from a suicide attempt. And no one knows when she’ll be coming home.\nAs blood leaks from the kitchen cabinets\, conversations turn into dance numbers and jokes turn into nightmares\, CLAIRE COME HOME is a dark comedy about the absurdity and grief of waiting for a loved one to get better. This trope-flipping play asks you to sit on the couch and mind the seven foot laundry pile while the supporting characters take the spotlight.

SUMMARY:Catch Me If You Can
DESCRIPTION:Join PLOS for a ride through the 1960’s with high energy dance numbers and a riveting story about an incredible con artist who manages to fool so many for so long\, with nothing more than his charm\, imagination and chutzpah. \nBased on the 2002 hit film of the same name starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks\, the adventure romp Catch Me If You Can captures the astonishing story of Frank Abignale Jr\, a world-class con artist who passes himself off as a multitude of identities\, including a doctor\, a lawyer\, and a jet pilot – all before the age of 21. When Frank’s antics catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty\, the story becomes a study of two sparring partners hot footing it across the globe yet connected by a secret mutual admiration.

SUMMARY:MARIEDL\, Selfies with a Giantess
DESCRIPTION:Maria Fassnauer\, known as ‘Mariedl\, the Tyrolean Giantess’ was born 1879 to an extremely poor farming family in Tyrol\, Austria\, and died there 38 years later. But those simple dates bookend an extraordinary life. Her fame spread from the small village out into the wider world.  Inevitably people came calling\, including a man who was to become her manager. Together with her sister Rosa\, she spent six years crossing Europe to be exhibited in theatres.  Including at the World Fair in Brussels\, in many a German panoptikum.  She then crossed to England where she spent a year at the Hippodromes in London and Manchester. It was here that Clive Darril from Wagga Wagga\, Australia\, caught up with her.  Clive made his infamous marriage proposal in front of the press\, which she turned down. She had sponsorship deals\, met royalty\, made a huge sum of money which she gave to her parents and a variety of charities.  Behind it all was a shy religious woman who had to work hard\, standing for hours in position and then selling postcards of herself. \nMARIEDL\, Selfies with a Giantess closes 2 December.

SUMMARY:The Odd Couple (female version)
DESCRIPTION:Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play\, The Odd Couple\, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues\, Florence arrives\, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might attempt suicide\, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However\, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy\, untidy\, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment\, Florence is obsessively clean\, tidy\, and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies\, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers\, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.

SUMMARY:Vampire Lesbians of Sodom
DESCRIPTION:One of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history\, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom by Charles Busch tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses whose paths first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry as bloodsuckers\, but more importantly\, as actresses\, endures for two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920’s silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas. Vampire Lesbians of Sodom is a demented tribute to horror cinema and divas of the Golden Age. A cult camp classic comedy in the same vein as Elvira Mistress of the Dark and Death Becomes Her. \nWith a cast of Melbourne’s finest\, including Jennifer Vuletic (Wentworth\, Looking for Alibrandi)\, Artemis Ioannides (Wentworth\, Because the Night)\, Zoe Boesen (Abigail’s Party)\, Brigid Gallacher (In The Club)\, and John Marc Desengano (Looking for Alibrandi)\, this is Little Ones Theatre’s final celebration of all things ridiculous. \nIt’s time to laugh and get your fangs out.

SUMMARY:Chase
DESCRIPTION:Meet Chase. She’s living her best life. Just a shame there’s no one left to see it. \nCompelling\, repelling\, and funny. Joined by her zany crew of besties and YouTube subscribers for company\, at the party to end all parties. The party to end the world! That’s if any of them actually even exist… \nEqually offensive and endearing to theatregoers from every walk of life\, Carly Sheppard has been developing and performing the character of Chase for nearly a decade. Now she joins forces with Kamarra Bell-Wykes (A DAYLIGHT CONNECTION) to deliver the most over-the-top\, cracked version  yet! \nIf only she understood half of what she helps others discover. \nMeet Chase. You just might see yourself.

SUMMARY:Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
DESCRIPTION:Edward Albee’s classic slugfest Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf\, at least on the surface\, is an ode to the heartbreak of middle age\, a vicious dissection of a marriage straining under the cumulative rage and disappointments of many years.\nWhen it burst on to the stage in 1962 it tapped into a growing unease about notions of decency and respectability\, with a brutality and sustained menace that tore through the anxieties of the age. The play’s ritualised deconstruction of marriage\, gender\, sexuality and ambition still ring true to this day.\nYet\, Albee’s characters also tell a love story: a story of shared acceptance of an inescapable fate. The inertia and grotesque irony of Martha and George’s romance is served up to their unwitting guests as a taste of the humiliations and the inevitable compromises to come.

SUMMARY:Prisoner at the World's End
DESCRIPTION:Prisoner at the World’s End is a Kafkaesque imagining arising out of the grim and grotesque circumstances of Julian Assange’s imprisonment.\nThe play explores Assange’s predicament through the eyes of three very different women who work in a volunteer café at His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh. Over the course of their day\, as they work in a small room making sandwiches for inmates and visitors\, they argue if Assange\, the Australian in the High Security Unit is like the man in the parable\, set upon by thieves\, and left abandoned on a roadside until a Good Samaritan finds and helps him.\nBeneath their feet runs a Neolithic pathway. Does violent primitive justice and magical thinking\, still permeate the walls within England’s most notorious prison and justice system?

SUMMARY:Of the Land on Which We Meet
DESCRIPTION:Of the Land on Which We Meet.  What does it mean to be where we are? Opening up the acknowledgement of Country and taking a closer look within it\, Na Djinang circus searches for a way to address the possible lack of connection contemporary Australians have with the spirituality of the land. The performance follows three contemporary Australian circus artists with distinct relationships with Country: an indigenous Australian\, a descendant of migrants and a descendant of colonial settlers. \nOf the Land on Which We Meet hopes to re-discover a connection we once had on Country with 60\,000 years of history\, spirit and story. “ Every day across the continent\, people “acknowledge” country in this place – but what does that really mean? Do these acknowledgements carry serious respect – are they just empty words? How deep is our connection to this country – to its history\, and its First Peoples? What do we really know about this land upon which we meet?”

SUMMARY:The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
DESCRIPTION:An eclectic group of sixth-graders arrives at the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee\, each eager to win for very different reasons. Sweet and shy Olive brings only her best friend (the dictionary) with her to the bee; bold and hyperallergic speller William Barfee uses his “magic foot” to propel him to greatness; former champion Chip is struggling with his burgeoning puberty; easily distracted Leaf is unconvinced that he’s smart enough to be a challenger; overachiever Marcy is disappointed by her consistent success; and politically aware Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre only wants to impress her gay dads. In hilarious\, touching\, and catchy songs\, each speller reveals his/her hopes\, struggles\, and passions as they make their way through the competition. With an engaging\, tuneful score by William Finn and a sweet\, funny book by Rachel Sheinkin\, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee causes audiences to fall in love\, both with the show itself and its “perspicacious\,” “jocular\,” and “effervescent” spellers. A warm hearted musical comedy.
