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 Housekeeper
DESCRIPTION: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). \nWhen 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.\nAnnie 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:The Birds
DESCRIPTION:Overnight\, the weather has turned in a small town. A war has been declared and there’s no one who can stop it.\nOne family sounds the warning\, but what can you do when denial is as easy as keeping your head down? \nAward-winning actor Paula Arundell (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) sends your pulse sky-rocketing in this adrenaline-shot adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic gothic horror that Hitchcock immortalised in film. \nLights off\, headphones on\, it is time to be immersed in a theatrical feat of audio engineering. Enter a nightmarish soundscape of flying feathers\, murderous swoops and thrilling carnage directed by Matthew Lutton (responsible for making you scream during Picnic at Hanging Rock). \nAs you dodge and duck out of reach\, just remember: the big-wigs in the city won’t save you.

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.

SUMMARY:The Boys
DESCRIPTION:A family bound by an unthinkable crime. A past that keeps repeating\, a lesson still unlearned. \nGordan 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. Originally inspired by the events surrounding the Anita Cobby murder\, this fictionalised account offers an intimate look at the lives of three brothers and the forces that shaped them. \nGreen Room nominated Director\, Tess Walsh\, brings this urgent story to the stage with a modernised setting—underscoring that these cycles of violence are not relics of the past but continue to be deeply ingrained in our society. The production challenges the audience to confront the complexities of these issues and reflect on the role we all play in dismantling harmful attitudes. By placing this harrowing story in the safety of a theatre setting\, The Boys invites audiences to witness\, reflect\, and engage in vital conversations about change.

DESCRIPTION:Beautiful mermaid Ariel should be a happy girl — she lives in an enchanted undersea country\, her father is a King\, and she has the most beautiful singing voice. But she is a passionate\, headstrong teenager\, and wants what she cannot have — to live on land. \nWhen she falls in love with a handsome human prince\, Ariel is more determined than ever to gain a pair of legs. But her only option is to defy her furious father\, and bargain with Ursula the Sea Witch\, giving her voice as the price of entry onto dry land. With the help of Flounder the fish\, Scuttle the seagull\, and officious court composer Sebastian the crab\, Ariel must wordlessly gain Prince Eric’s love within three days — or lose her soul to the ambitious witch! \nBased on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale\, and the wildly popular Disney film\, this musical staging of The Little Mermaid features a funny and fanciful book by Doug Wright\, with the beloved score by Alan Menken\, Howard Ashman\, and Glenn Slater in an expanded but completely faithful form\, featuring the rambunctious and persuasive “Under the Sea\,” the romantic expectation of “Kiss the Girl\,” and that anthem to longing and belonging\, “Part of Your World.”

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. Blazing the trail for a new kind of modern\, outrageous\, in-your-face musical comedy\, The Producers won a record 12 Tony Awards. Now\, the show comes to the Hayes in an all-new production! \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. \nRunning Time\nApprox. 2 hours and 30 minutes – including interval
