Smokescreen
2025-07-08 - 2025-07-13 | Fortyfivedownstairs Theatre, 45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
A razor-sharp powerplay about the dark arts of marketing behind climate denial.
It’s 1977. Glenn has a crisis on his hands. He’s had a successful career as a marketing exec. for a major Oil company, selling the fuel that powers the American Dream. Now he’s waking up to the damage it’s doing to the climate. In a secret meeting, he consults with Bud, a slick young talent from the Tobacco industry, to figure out how to sell a toxic product – and how to live with yourself if you succeed.
Compelling, unnerving, and piercingly relevant, Smokescreen is a psychologically-charged battle of wits that reveals how the climate crisis we face today was shaped by the invisible hands of Ad men.
Searing performances by Damon Baudin (Boys on the Verge of Tears, Romeo and Julie), and C.S. Carroll (I Have No Enemies, The Cadaver Palaver) collide in a pressure-cooker of manipulation, morality, and earth-shattering choices about controlling the narrative while the planet burns.

All is Good.. in the Glow of Moonlight
2025-06-25 - 2025-07-05 | Theatreworks, 14 Acland Street, St Kilda, VIC, 3182, Australia
by simon starr and joseph sherman
In a smoky, moonlit afterlife, Jewish writer Isaac Babel meets his most notorious invention: the gangster king of Odessa, Benya Krik.

Blackrock
2025-06-25 - 2025-06-28 | MCShowroom, L1/50 Clifton St, Prahran, Victoria, 3181
“One mistake. One life. One community torn apart.”
It’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.
Who is responsible? The boy? The girl? Or the whole town.
Blackrock, 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.
Blackrock 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.
Lunatix 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.
Featuring 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.

Soldier Boy
2025-06-19 - 2025-07-05 | Theatreworks, 14 Acland Street, St Kilda, VIC, 3182, Australia
by anthony hill
“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.
At 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.

How To Hold A Sign
2025-05-28 - 2025-05-31 | The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
It’s going to be a scorcher in Melbourne today, and Aoife and Jackie have pulled a 12 hour shift. Standing at opposite ends of a roadwork site, the two women realise that they couldn’t be more different. Aoife, earnest and outgoing, smiles warmly at passing cars through her lipstick and lashes, while Jackie, practical to her bones, waves cars on with a seasoned shrug. As traffic ebbs and flows, they find themselves caught between obeying the rules and rewriting them.
Equal parts sly comedy and feminist critique, How to Hold a Sign is, above all, a play about solidarity; a story of two women bonding and surviving in a male-dominated world. It is a love letter to working-class resilience, a comment on systemic inequities and a celebration of the power of connection. With wit and heart, the play invites audiences to linger on the margins, look deeper and discover the complexities that lie in something as deceptively simple as a bright vest and a steady arm.
Babble Productions brings their unique brand of humour, storytelling and a touch of rebellion to the stage in this untold Aussie story.

The Housekeeper
2025-05-22 - 2025-06-14 | The Lowe Auditorium, 3 Rose Street, Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC, 3156, Australia
Floundering a bit after the death of his aged mother, Manley Carstairs, a selfstyled literary artist, engages a housekeeper, Annie Dankworth, to look after his large Victorian house (and himself).
When Annie first arrives, wearing sneakers and carrying her belongings in a grocery cart, Manley is taken aback, but she seems so eager to please that he relents—after which their relationship progresses rapidly from initial reserve to active hatred.
Annie is one of the world’s great oddballs. She insults her employer, denigrates his writing, admits she forged her references, accuses Manley of lusting after her and, in general, makes his life a hell.
The play covers all these unlikely events with lively wit and biting humor, becoming funnier and funnier as it builds toward its unexpected and thoroughly delightful conclusion.

2025-05-18 - 2025-09-11 | Regent Theatre, 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes.
With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL is “A FEAST FOR THE EYES AND SOUL!” (Entertainment Weekly). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

2025-05-16 - 2025-06-07 | Malthouse Theatre, 113 Sturt Street, Southbank, VIC, 3006, Australia

The Producers
2025-05-15 - 2025-05-18 | Riverside Theatre, Corner Market &, Church St, Parramatta, NSW, 2015, Australia
They picked the wrong play; the wrong director; the wrong cast… Where did they go right?
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names strike terror and hysteria into anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult-comedy film, or the smash-hit, record-breaking Broadway musical it inspired.
Blazing the trail for a new kind of modern, outrageous, in-your-face musical comedy, The Producers won a record 12 Tony Awards. Due to popular demand, the show comes to Riverside direct from Hayes Theatre!
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and a mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history – thereby swindling their backers (all ‘little old ladies’) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes wrong – the show becomes a smash hit. The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way fecklessly through finding the ‘perfect’ show (the gloriously offensive Springtime for Hitler), hiring the ‘ideal’ director, raising the money, and finally getting their comeuppance is a masterclass in comedy construction. And at the core of this insanely funny adventure is the heartfelt emotional journey of two very different people who up-end each other’s lives, and – against all odds – become friends.
With a truly hysterical book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie), and music and lyrics by Brooks himself, The Producers takes no prisoners in skewering classic Broadway – and creates a new Broadway classic in the process.
Joshua Robson Productions sold out their 5-week season at Hayes Theatre before they even opened, so there is no doubt in their mind that these shows will sell quicker than toilet paper during lockdowns.
Currently leading the cast in the iconic roles of the hilariously desperate Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his delightfully meek accountant Leo Bloom are Anton Berezin (The Phantom of the Opera, Evita) and Des Flanagan (Moulin Rouge! The Musical). They are joined by newcomer Alexandra Cashmere who sizzles as the glamorous Ulla. Together, they take the audience on a wild ride as Bialystock and Bloom attempt the biggest con in Broadway history, producing a sure fire flop to pocket investors’ money.

The Black Woman of Gippsland
2025-05-05 - 2025-05-31 | Southbank Theatre, 140 Southbank Boulevard, Southbank, VIC, 3006, Australia
From Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) comes The Black Woman of Gippsland – a story of Victoria’s dark past that is in dire need of revisiting, told as a thrilling modern mystery that unfolds with beauty, tragedy and rebellion.
A woman is tossed ashore from the sea, bedraggled and lost. A century and a half later, another finds herself diving deep into the truth behind a lingering legend.
Jacinta’s family is driving her up the wall and her academic career is floundering, but amongst the books, something doesn’t feel right about the story history tells. The myths and half-truths that surround the figure of a ‘white woman’ said to have lived among the Gunaikurnai people of Gippsland in the 1840s are so abundant it seems the reality is out of reach. But Jacinta is determined to unearth the truth for herself and her Gunaikurnai family no matter the twists and turns the journey might take her on.
Based on real events and set on Andrea’s grandmother’s country, The Black Woman of Gippsland is a poetic, emotionally rich and clever embracing of First Nations stories that have long been silenced.

A family bound by an unthinkable crime. A past that keeps repeating, a lesson still unlearned.
Gordan Graham’s play, The Boys, is a powerful and unsettling exploration of family and gendered violence, examining its ripple effects on the women left in its wake.

The production challenges the audience to confront the complexities of these issues and reflect on the role we all play in dismantling harmful attitudes.
