SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream STAG
DESCRIPTION:A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most loved plays. It blends four Athenian lovers\, fairies\, and amateur actors\, into a magical night where confusion reigns\, love potions go awry in an enchanted forest\, and mismatched pairs fall in and out of love. “The course of true love never did run smooth”. After mistaken identities\, donkey-headed transformations\, and comical chaos the topsy-turvy world right’s itself and love conquers all.

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: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:The Barber of Seville
DESCRIPTION:Opera Australia presents The Barber of Seville at the Regent Theatre\, Melbourne.\nBeyond haircuts and beard trims\, this canny barber is the city’s matchmaking maestro! \nAlmaviva is wealthy\, stealthy and head over heels. Rosina is witty\, pretty and just as smitten. She’s also inconveniently betrothed. They need a plan. Time to call on: Fi-ga-ro! Figaro! Figaro! \nEnter the friendly neighbourhood barber with wits and tricks as sharp as his razors. He sets to work to unite the young lovers in an evening of disguises and duplicity. \nThis rollicking\, laugh-out-loud comedy took a young Rossini just 13 days to write. Playful energy sparkles through as many famous tunes as you can pack into two-and-a-half hours. \nA cast of great voices and high spirits play among a marvellous set of cartoonish proportions — a world inspired by 1920s silent films\, featuring a life-size doll’s house as its centrepiece. \nAustralian Figaros Samuel Dale Johnson and Samuel Dundas lead some of our best comic talents in this side-splitting romp through Seville.

SUMMARY:The Talented Mr. Ripley
DESCRIPTION:From playwriting icon Joanna Murray-Smith comes this ravishing adaptation of the twentieth century’s most glamorous thriller. Following the triumphant success of Julia\, Murray-Smith reunites with director Sarah Goodes to masterfully transform this seductive page-turner into an electrifying\, world-premiere stage experience. \nWill McDonald (Heartbreak High) plays Tom Ripley\, an orphan and a striver\, barely scraping by in 1950s New York. But beneath his woebegone exterior\, Tom cultivates certain talents that set him apart: an extraordinary capacity for mimicry and deception. He is a man with a face no-one remembers. Whereas no one could forget Dickie Greenleaf. He is everything Tom isn’t; confident\, stylish\, and heir to a large fortune. Tom is hired by Dickie’s father to bring his son home and so plunges him into a glittering world of luxury\, beauty and hedonism on the Italian Riviera. Intoxicated with this new social scene\, Tom begins to fashion himself after his target. He begins dancing like Dickie\, dressing like him\, and drinking like him. Tom begins to imagine another version of himself. A better one… and he’ll kill for it. \nFor 70 years Tom Ripley has captivated readers and cinephiles alike. Now\, literature’s most alluring confidence man is brought to life before our eyes in the hands of one of Australia’s great playwrights and most brilliant directors. Also featuring Faisal Hamza\, Andrew McFarlane\, Johnny Nasser and Claude Scott-Mitchell\, The Talented Mr. Ripley promises tension\, passion and spectacular suspense.

SUMMARY:Dying: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:When the acclaimed author Cory Taylor was diagnosed with a terminal illness\, what followed was an astonishing creative surge that resulted in a memoir Barack Obama named as one of his favourite books of 2017. \nTaylor’s wry insights into the rituals\, language and taboos surrounding mortality can be witty\, provocative or eye-opening – sometimes in the same breath. With honesty and unsentimental clarity she confronts the swamp of anxiety and despair that traditionally surrounds death and opens the door to the bright clear-eyed vision it ultimately grants us. Learning to face death is\, in the end\, learning to live fully. \nEqually moving and hilarious\, Taylor’s last work has been adapted with great care by writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law (Torch the Place)\, a family friend of Taylor’s\, who brings a loving ear to this most intimate tale.

SUMMARY:The Breath of Kings
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s Henry 6 plays are one of the great undiscovered gems of Western Literature. An intoxicating mix of violence\, politics and romance\, this civil war is as machiavellian as Succession and as brutal as Game of Thrones. Henry 6 is a rare thing – a religious pacifist in a time of war and his wife the opposite – a ferocious mother willing to destroy an entire country to protect those she loves. But family and country are going to unravel\, and a gleefully malicious Richard of Gloucester is waiting in the wings to take advantage of this chaos. \nThe Breath of Kings is a rare chance to see these plays in all their glory. Burning House will bring their unique blend of ambition and insight to a repertoire season of the Henry 6 plays and Richard 3\, with more adventurous audience members able to watch all plays in a massive five hour long event on weekends. This is theatre at its most ambitious and exciting – and for those of you missing big\, festival epics The Breath of Kings is here to deliver.

SUMMARY:Control by Keziah Warner
DESCRIPTION:For the first time since its original production by Red Stitch Theatre in 2019\, Keziah Warner’s epic sci-fi odyssey Control is back in Melbourne. \nIn the not-so-distant future\, a heavily pregnant ex-ballerina\, a child detective\, a bitter puppeteer and a feminist pop princess hurtle towards Mars in a Big Brother-style spaceship. The world is watching. Isn’t it? \nOn the eve of a revolution\, Nicki and Caroline attempt to gain control over their lives as their AI superior Alex dances the night away. \nAnd on New Earth\, Esta and Isabelle forge hope through a new kind of relationship. \nSpanning across half a century from Melbourne to Mars\, Control is a startling and provocative play by Keziah Warner that delves deep into our relationship with technology: its moral ambiguities\, its dependencies\, and its potential. Control proposes a future where space colonisation meets reality TV; where memories are stored in a government-regulated cloud: where the implementation of AI in education teaches us more about ourselves. This visually striking play confronts audiences with a potential future where humans gradually surrender control of identity\, memory and knowledge-sharing over to technology. \nControl was commissioned by Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre through the INK program and was originally produced by Red Stitch in 2019.\nThis project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body.\nThis work is supported by Darebin Arts through the Darebin Arts Speakeasy Spare Room Program
