SUMMARY:Looking for Alibrandi
DESCRIPTION:Josie Alibrandi is in her final year of high school. Whip-smart and aspirational\, she is a third-generation Italian teenager and scholarship kid\, with the shadow of a family curse and a penchant for rule-breaking.\nJuggling grades\, boys\, and the claustrophobia of an overbearing Nonna and saintly mother\, Josie’s life becomes tangled in the webs of class\, identity\, and family history as she finds her place in a changing world. \nIconic novel and cult movie\, Looking for Alibrandi is the honest and empowered portrait of 1990s Mediterranean culture that spoke for the first time about systemic racism in Australia from a migrant perspective. It defined a generation and to this day resonates with those caught in the stranglehold of identity and othering in this country. \nAward winning director Stephen Nicolazzo (Loaded\, Merciless Gods) brought Melina Marchetta’s best-selling novel to the stage for the first time in 2022\, where Vidya Rajan’s AWGIE nominated adaptation joined three generations of women in a passionate\, heart wrenching\, and unmissable rendering of the Australian classic.

SUMMARY:Trophy Boys
DESCRIPTION:A razor-sharp queer black comedy and drag-fuelled spectacle exploring power\, privilege and high school politics. \nIt’s the night of the Grand Final of Melbourne’s most prestigious Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament\, and the elite all-boys team from St Imperium College are ready to crush their sister school rivals—until everything starts to unravel. \nPerformed entirely by a female and non-binary cast in drag\, Trophy Boys unfolds in real time during the team’s one-hour prep session\, as they’re forced to debate the motion: “Feminism has failed women.” \nWhat follows is a wildly funny and biting satire on adolescent masculinity\, entitlement\, and the early grooming of Australia’s future power players. \nWinner of Best New Work at the 2024 Sydney Theatre Awards and nominated for four Greenroom Awards including Best Production and Best New Writing\, Trophy Boys is “truly a joy to watch” (Time Out). \nBack in Melbourne after last year’s sell-out season—don’t miss this bold and brilliant return.

SUMMARY:Ms Julie Gabler: trapped
DESCRIPTION:by Kathleen Mary Fallon \nIn this bold\, modern reimagining of Othello told through Desdemona’s eyes\, three actors explore love\, suspicion\, domestic abuse\, and pathological jealousy—often called ‘the Othello Syndrome’—in an inter-racial setting. As professional performers\, they not only enact their characters but also reveal themselves\, their relationships shaped and confined by the theatrical legacies of Shakespeare’s Othello\, Strindberg’s misogyny in Miss Julie and The Father\, and Ibsen’s feminist tensions in Hedda Gabler and A Doll’s House. Caught in this cultural framework\, we’re left to wonder: are they performing themselves\, or is the culture performing them? \nThis powerful exploration of gender\, race\, and sexuality delves deep into disturbing questions: What happens behind closed doors? Why do women remain in relationships that grow increasingly violent and irrational? How can one tell when ordinary jealousy tips into dangerous obsession? Ms Julie Gabler: trapped goes beyond simplistic labels like ‘evil’\, ‘patriarchal’\, or ‘misogynistic’ to examine the psychological fragmentation of abusers and the tragic vulnerability of their partners. It exposes not only the torment of those who inflict violence but also the peril of failing to see the signs—until it’s too late.

SUMMARY:Kimberley Akimbo A Musical
DESCRIPTION:The new girl in town is making heads spin. You’ve got to move fast when you’re 16 going on 70. \nKimberly Akimbo is the musical that took Broadway by storm. It won countless hearts and raked in five Tony awards including Best Musical\, with music by Jeanine Tesori\, the brilliant mind behind the critically acclaimed Fun Home. This Australian premiere directed by four-time Helpmann Award-winner Mitchell Butel and starring Marina Prior\, Casey Donovan and Christie Whelan Browne brims with infectious energy and tunes that soar. \nNew Jersey\, 1999: from a sea of teen angst\, unrequited crushes and popularity contests bursts Kimberly\, a musical heroine like no other. Equal parts teen comedy\, heist caper and unlikely love story\, her rollercoaster journey shows that the tempo of your own song is yours to set. Born with a genetic rarity that means she ages at four times the rate of everyone else\, Kimberly is a teen in mid-life form and living on borrowed time. She can cope with her dropkick dad and narcissistic mum – can’t spell ‘dysfunction’ without ‘fun’\, right? But when her criminal aunt Debra shows up with a get-rich-quick scheme too good to be legal\, Kimberly decides you’re only young once.

SUMMARY:Blood Wedding
DESCRIPTION:Adapted from the original play by Federico García Lorca \nBlood Wedding tells the story of a forbidden love between two people born into feuding families. Originally penned in 1933 amidst political unrest and calls for revolution\, this bold new adaptation brings Lorca’s work into sharp focus for a contemporary audience—resonating deeply in today’s uncertain world. \nAt its core\, Blood Wedding explores the personal toll of conflict and the silencing of women in patriarchal societies. It’s a battle of tribe against tribe\, class against class—building to a tragic climax. \nWith striking projections\, a visceral soundscape\, and physical\, stylised performance\, this production interrogates inherited traditions\, gender roles\, moral boundaries\, freedom\, and the raw\, destructive force of love—and violence. The blade\, both literal and symbolic\, becomes a chilling throughline. These themes remain just as urgent today as when Lorca first wrote them. \nKnives. Knives. Curse the man who invented them. Do you know what a knife can do? Ever stuffed salt into a knife wound? Pushed a man’s insides back into his belly? Ever seen someone split from throat to groin? Don’t tell me not to talk about knives—I know knives.\n— Mother\, Blood Wedding

SUMMARY:ECHO (Every Cold-Hearted Oxygen)
DESCRIPTION:A script no one has seen. An experience you’ll never forget.\nThe most performed playwright in the history of Iranian theatre Nassim Soleimanpour (White Rabbit\, Red Rabbit\, NASSIM) and acclaimed director Omar Elerian (NASSIM\, Misty\, two Palestinians go dogging) push the boundaries of Soleimanpour’s signature unrehearsed cold reads to the next level. \nEvery night\, a new performer takes to the stage not knowing what is going to be asked of them.

Past performances overseas have seen the likes of Emilia Clarke\, Meera Syal\, Fiona Shaw and Benedict Wong take the stage. \nECHO: Every Cold-Hearted Oxygen invites you to consider what home means to you. Fusing technology with the oldest tricks in the book\, this is theatre for the age of climate crisis: an ambitious\, magical and profound production where no one travels yet everybody is present. \nBeloved actors and celebrated icons will create an unrepeatable and unforgettable experience. \nSubscribe to our eNewsletter to be the first to hear who will be taking the stage.

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:On a freezing Christmas Eve\, love sparks. Two hands meet in the dark and four friends’ lives change forever.\nExperience the original bohemian love story. \nWhen Mimì meets Rodolfo\, it’s love at first touch. They head out to bustling Café Momus\, where the feisty Musetta and Marcello rekindle their relationship. But even the deepest love can’t warm a freezing winter. \nFor our bohemians\, everything is possible and the future can’t come quickly enough. Rodolfo and his friends are determined to make their mark on the world and experience everything it has to offer – but right now they’d settle for something warm to eat. \nSome emotions are too big for words alone\, and for that\, we have music. La Bohème exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express. The music soars with the ecstasy of love\, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss. \nPuccini’s score has always captured the soaring spirit of young love\, and this new production breathes fresh life into one of the world’s favourite operas. Award-winning director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes\, Sweet Charity) brings his trademark wit and vivacity to this new staging\, which captures that giddy moment where you and your friends feel you’ll live forever.

SUMMARY:Smokescreen
DESCRIPTION:A razor-sharp powerplay about the dark arts of marketing behind climate denial. \nIt’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. \nCompelling\, 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. \nSearing 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.
