Sh!t-faced Shakespeare
2025-03-27 - 2025-04-20 | Athenaeum Theatre, 188 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare is the hilarious blend of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely sh!t-faced actor. What could possibly go right? With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same in this raucous, riotous, rampage through one of Shakespeare’s most loved plays – A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Warning, this show includes a genuinely drunk performer and anything could happen. This show may contain drinking, swearing, nudity, simulated acts of a sexual nature, terrible singing, actual acts of a sexual nature, and quite possibly – some actual Shakespeare.

The Dictionary of Lost Words
2025-03-27 - 2025-03-29 | Geelong Arts Centre, 50 Little Malop Street, Geelong, VIC, 3020, Australia
BEST-SELLING | NOVEL | ADAPTATION
In 1901, the word bondmaid was discovered to be missing from the Oxford English Dictionary.
The Dictionary of Lost Words is the story of the girl who stole it.
South Australian novelist Pip Williams’ internationally best-selling book, comes to vivid life in this critically acclaimed stage adaptation by South Australian playwright, Verity Laughton.
A best-selling multi-award winner (including the People’s Choice Award at the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards) and chosen for the Reese Witherspoon Book Club, the book has been lauded as an “absorbing, quietly revolutionary novel”, “deeply, intrinsically kind (and) a profoundly comforting place to dwell” (The Age) and “a captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.” (New York Times).
Motherless and ever curious, Esme spends her childhood in the Scriptorium – the “Scrippy”, a converted garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of lexicographers guided by Dr James Murray are gathering words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. She hides beneath the sorting table and catches a word on a “slip” as it falls and soon, she finds other words that have been neglected by the men. Here begins Esme’s collection of her own: the Dictionary of Lost Words.
As the years pass, Esme realises that little importance is placed on recording the words and meanings relating to women’s experiences and as her world expands and her circle of friends grows – actresses, suffragettes, market traders, workers, she realises the power in their silenced voices and decides to lend them hers. And on the way, she comes to understand the many meanings of the word “love”.
“The Dictionary of Lost Words is a must-see… the entire season sold out before opening, with every effort being made to find some extra seats. If you can get one, do it. It’s unmissable.”

Peter and The Starcatcher Brisbane reveals the UNTOLD STORY OF NEVERLAND.
This Broadway sensation, a New York Times Critic’s Pick and winner of five Tony Awards®, will enchant Australia in 2024-2025. The production stars Colin Lane (Lano & Woodley), Alison Whyte (Frontline), Paul Capsis (La Cage Aux Folles), Olivia Deeble (Home and Away), and Otis Dhanji (Aquaman).
Originally developed by Disney Theatrical Group and written by Rick Elice (Jersey Boys). The play is based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Furthermore, it has been reimagined by Dead Puppet Society. Consequently, this eagerly awaited version of Peter and the Starcatcher blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, exploring lands filled with curious creatures.
As a musical prequel to J.M. Barrie’s beloved classic, Peter Pan, Peter and the Starcatcher delves into the backstory of how an orphan boy becomes the iconic Peter Pan. The script is by Rick Elice and music by Wayne Barker. The production merges imaginative storytelling with whimsical music, creating a captivating theatrical experience.
The narrative follows a young orphan, simply called Boy. He meets Molly, a determined girl on a mission to protect a trunk of magical “starstuff” from the villainous pirate, Black Stache. Their journey together unfolds themes of friendship, bravery, and identity. The story culminates in Boy’s transformation finally into Peter Pan.
Renowned for its inventive stagecraft, the play uses minimalistic props and also the physicality of its actors to bring fantastical elements to life. This innovative approach, combined with a witty and poignant script, has made Peter and the Starcatcher a favourite among audiences. The show has earned multiple Tony Awards and critical acclaim for its creativity and heart.
Peter and The Starcatcher Brisbane opens 14 March, 2025.

The play moves in and out of the cabaret setting as it tells the story of Don Dunstan ‘s political life, one of Australia’s most charismatic, courageous and visionary politicians.

RBG: Of Many, One
2025-03-12 - 2025-03-23 | Arts Centre Melbourne, 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, 3004, Australia
“One of the all-time great performances” The Sydney Morning Herald
After a triumphant premiere season in 2022, and a sold-out national tour in 2024, the smash-hit RBG: Of Many, One returns to the Melbourne stage once more in 2025, due to popular demand.
The brilliant Heather Mitchell will be reviving her award-winning and critically acclaimed “virtuosic performance” (The Conversation) of the woman who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The second woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was both a trailblazer in the American judiciary and a fierce advocate for gender equality and reproductive rights. Her life is brought to the stage in an STC commissioned play by the extraordinary pen of Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright and expert legal mind, Suzie Miller (Prima Facie). This story chronicles Ginsburg’s wins and dissents, traces her steps forward and the steps back, and brings you right into the room with Ruth at the most pivotal moments of her life.
A masterstroke of directorial vision, Priscilla Jackman reconjures RBG in this once-in-a-generation theatrical event that continues to find resonances with the political landscape of the present day. If you haven’t seen it yet, now is your chance to witness the sensation that is “magnificent from start to finish” (Limelight).

The Removalists
2025-03-11 - 2025-04-17 | Southbank Theatre, 140 Southbank Boulevard, Southbank, VIC, 3006, Australia
David Williamson’s The Removalists is still as provocative and relevant as it was at its debut.
When 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.
Set 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.
Anne-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.
Melbourne 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.

Pain Drunk
2025-03-11 - 2025-03-15 | The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
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.
Over 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.
Despite 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.

Goldfish
2025-02-26 - 2025-03-02 | Arts House, 521 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne, VIC, 3051, Australia
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.
