SUMMARY:Changeling
DESCRIPTION:A raw\, provocative reflection on identity\, belonging and the cost of being authentic to who you are. \nA Child was born before midnight\, beneath the wild eastern wind… \nThis is a small rural community; a community of masks\, a community of personas\, where fairies are evil and folklore are accepted as universal truths\, and the biggest threat of all\, is the changeling child. So when a Child begins to display unnatural traits and skills\, the community is steeped in fear. \nDebuting at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2025\, Changeling is a dark fairytale delving into the stigma experienced by disabled and neurodivergent people through the lens of ‘masked’ theatre. \nBased on European folklore and inspired by the likes of The Crucible\, Changeling explores the damage of ‘othering’\, the dangers of collective paranoia and mob mentality… within a world bearing eerie similarities to our own.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:This preposterous and flamboyant production of The Importance of Being Earnest is a farcical play by Oscar Wilde about two bachelors\, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff\, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape what they believe are their mundane lives. Both men use this deception to woo women who are fixated on the name “Ernest”. \nCelebrated for its wit and repartee\, parodying and gently satirising late Victorian manners\, this version of the play deems to poke fun at quintessential Britishness and the pomposity of the upper class. \nWe bring to you two Victorian philanderers (which could be putting it nicely)\, Jack and Algernon\, as well as the likes of the formidable Lady Bracknell\, the glamorous Gwendolen Fairfax\, the ever-curious Cecily Cardew\, the bumbling Dr Frederick Chasuble\, the indifferent Miss Laetitia Prism\, ever devoted Lane and Merriman\, as well as A Handbag!

SUMMARY:Punk Rock
DESCRIPTION:Lunatix Theatre Presents: Punk Rock by Simon Stephens \nA Raw and Unflinching Look at Adolescence\, Pressure\, and the Chaos Beneath the Surface \nLunatix Theatre proudly announces its bold new production of Punk Rock by acclaimed British playwright Simon Stephens\, opening September 17th at Meat Market (Stables). Known for its visceral energy and chilling relevance\, Punk Rock dives headfirst into the emotional turbulence of teenage life with razor-sharp dialogue\, haunting insight\, and explosive drama. \nSet in a grammar school library in Stockport\, England\, Punk Rock follows a group of sixth-form students as they navigate the mounting pressures of exams\, relationships\, identity\, and an uncertain future. As tensions simmer and the cracks in their carefully constructed worlds begin to show\, the play builds to a devastating crescendo that forces audiences to confront the consequences of silence\, neglect\, and societal pressure. \nDirected by Jay Wood\, this production brings Lunatix Theatre’s trademark raw energy and youthful urgency to a play that has never felt more relevant. In a time where mental health\, violence\, and the complexity of identity are front and centre in public discourse\, Punk Rock cuts deep — daring audiences to question how we listen\, how we support\, and how we fail the next generation. \n“This is a play that demands your attention\, not just as a theatre-goer\, but as a human being. But it’s also about the moments of connection\, humour\, and humanity that exist within chaos. It holds a mirror up to how we live—and how we ignore the signs.” – Maddie Richards \, Artistic Director \nWith a cast of emerging Melbourne talent\, stark and immersive staging\, and a punk-fuelled undercurrent driving the emotional charge\, Punk Rock is not just a night at the theatre — it’s a wake-up call. \nTrigger Warning: This production contains themes of mental illness\, violence\, bullying\, death\, smoking and strong language. Recommended for ages 16+.

SUMMARY:American Psycho – The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial 1991 novel and the cult 2000 film\, this blistering stage adaptation delivers a satirical punch straight to the heart of capitalism\, consumerism and unchecked male power.\nWith a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale) and music and lyrics by Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening)\, this bold musical dives into the mind of Patrick Bateman: a young\, wealthy investment banker with a taste for designer suits by day\, and something far more sinister by night. \nSet in the money-obsessed Manhattan of the late 1980s and soundtracked by Sheik’s slick score alongside iconic hits from Phil Collins\, Tears for Fears\, New Order and Huey Lewis and the News\, American Psycho is a blood-soaked thrill ride through greed\, privilege and moral decay. \nPresented by See You Sunday Inc.

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.
