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. Unrehearsed and deliberately unprepared\, the script becomes their only guide as they journey through the story of the playwright\, connected live from his home in Berlin. (Or is he?) 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.

SUMMARY:Blackrock
DESCRIPTION:“One mistake. One life. One community torn apart.” \nIt’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. \nWho is responsible? The boy? The girl? Or the whole town.\nBlackrock\, 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. \nBlackrock 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. \nLunatix 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. \nFeaturing 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. \nFor more information regarding the femicide epidemic in Australia: https://australianfemicidewatch.org

SUMMARY:Soldier Boy
DESCRIPTION:by anthony hill \n“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.

SUMMARY:How To Hold A Sign
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEqual 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. \nBabble Productions brings their unique brand of humour\, storytelling and a touch of rebellion to the stage in this untold Aussie story.

SUMMARY:The Producers
DESCRIPTION:They picked the wrong play; the wrong director; the wrong cast… Where did they go right? \nBialystock 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. \nBlazing 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! \nThe 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. \nWith 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. \nJoshua 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. \nCurrently 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.

SUMMARY:The Black Woman of Gippsland
DESCRIPTION: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. \nA 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. \nJacinta’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. \nBased 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.
