Lou and Maud are at their breaking point—after yet another failed round of IVF, their finances are drained, and their options are running out. Just when they think they’ve hit a dead end, an unexpected inheritance from a distant relative offers a glimmer of hope.

From the acclaimed writer of Lemon Tree on Dreg Street, Dirty Pennies, in partnership with Geelong Arts Centre’s Creative Engine, presents a gripping queer gothic horror.

The Toxic Avenger
2025-02-14 - 2025-02-22 | Doncaster Playhouse, 679 Doncaster Road, Doncaster, VIC, 3108, Australia
“The Toxic Avenger musical is a darkly comedic rock musical based on the 1984 cult film of the same name.
Set in the fictional town of Tromaville, the story follows Melvin Ferd the Third, a nerdy janitor who is transformed into the grotesque yet heroic Toxic Avenger after being dumped into a vat of toxic waste. As his new alter ego, Melvin embarks on a mission to clean up the corrupt town and fight against evil, including a villainous, corrupt mayor and a powerful businessman. Along the way, he finds love, faces hilarious obstacles, and ultimately strives to save the world.
The show blends catchy music, offbeat humor, and over-the-top antics to deliver a quirky, fun, and campy theatrical experience.”

The Pirates of Penzance

The G&S classic… re-wired and re-booted.
(Swash) buckle up for an epic voyage…

This brand-new, boisterously joyful adaptation is brought to life by just four bold performers (plus one even bolder onstage swing!).
Between them, this intrepid quartet bring to life:
The Pirate King, devoted to a life of swashbuckling and skullduggery – as long as the hours aren’t too demanding.
Ruth, the nursemaid who hasn’t been entirely truthful, but who reveals a natural talent and appetite for piracy.
Mabel, a young woman thirsty for new experiences (and just plain thirsty).
Frederic, our young hero thrown into an existential battle between his old and new worlds by a series of irritating administrative errors.
A Major-General devoted to respectability, but tormented by the shame he has brought onto his ancestors-by-purchase.
Plus; the motley pirate crew, a troupe of singing police recruits, Mabel’s eclectic group of sisters; and the faithful piratical accomplice/pianist, Fish Cake.

Fledermaus!
2025-02-15 - 2025-03-02 | The Knowe, 4 Clarkmont Rd, Sassafras, VIC, 3787, Australia
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.
A 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!
However, 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.
But 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!
Fledermaus! 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.

Honour
2025-02-15 - 2025-03-16 | Red Stitch: The Actor’s Theatre, Rear 2 Chapel Street, St Kilda East, VIC, 3182, Australia
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. Featuring Red Stitch ensemble member Caroline Lee (The Newsreader, Bogan Pride, The Dressmaker), alongside Peter Houghton (The Newsreader, Newstopia) this timeless and razor-sharp play examines what unfolds when everything that once defined a person suddenly falls away.

Never Have I Ever
2025-02-15 - 2025-03-22 | Fairfax Studio, 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
A night to remember? More like a nightmare best left behind.
A 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).
Two 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.
Beneath 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.

Spider’s Web is a murder Mystery. Clarissa, the second wife of Henry Hailsham-Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure for their bored diplomatic circle.
When a murder takes place in her drawing room, she finds live drama much harder to cope with, especially as she suspects the murderer might be her young step-daughter Pippa.
Worse still, the victim is the man who broke up Henry’s first marriage!
Clarissa’s fast-talking places her in some hair-raising situations, as she comes to learn that the facts are much more terrifying than fiction…

Nijinsky
2025-02-21 - 2025-03-01 | Regent Theatre, 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
Vaslav Nijinsky reached the peak of his career in the early 20th century, captivating audiences with his unmatched performances. His expressive and sensual choreography thrilled some and shocked others, even inciting riots in Parisian theatres.
Tragically, Nijinsky’s brilliance was overshadowed by his battle with schizophrenia, leading him to spend much of his later life in treatment facilities. His final public performance in 1919, held in a Swiss hotel, was a haunting expression of his turbulent emotions.
Renowned narrative ballet choreographer John Neumeier delves into Nijinsky’s final moments on stage, vividly tracing the journey of a genius—from his rise to fame to his personal struggles. The production explores his complex family life, doomed relationships, and the unforgettable performances that cemented his legacy.
Blurring the lines between biography and spectacle, Nijinsky provides The Australian Ballet’s male dancers with the opportunity to embody his distinctive style. Set against the dazzling backdrop of early 20th-century Paris, the production’s lavish sets and costumes transport audiences into a world of artistic brilliance.
A breathtaking theatrical experience, Nijinsky is a powerful homage to the dancer and choreographer who forever transformed the world of ballet.

Fresno
2025-02-26 - 2025-03-02 | Chapel Off Chapel, 12 Little Chapel Street, Prahran, VIC, 3181, Australia
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’.
Fresno 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.
It 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.
The 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’.
After 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.
Presented by J.M Harland & J. R Connell

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.
A 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.
Goldfish 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.
