Jailbaby
Suzie Miller

AJ wasn't meant to go to prison, but once he is convicted of theft, he is placed behind the walls of an institution where his own body is stolen from him. In a cramped communal cell, AJ will become a 'jailbaby'—the ward of a justice system that chooses to turn a blind eye to the life-altering sexual violence committed against young men behind bars.

When This Is Over
Ned Glasier, Sadeysa Greenaway-Bailey, Company Three

When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination. It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together.

Miss Peony
Michelle Law

Lily's grandmother was a beauty queen back in Hong Kong. She doesn't care that times have changed, that Lily lives in a new country and a new century. She sees a granddaughter caught between worlds. So Poh Poh pushes Lily into entering the highly competitive Miss Peony, and no matter how hard Lily tries to wriggle out of it, her grandma won't take no for an answer. And to make matters worse, she's a ghost.

With breathless hilarity, Kimber Lee's untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play jumps through time, wriggling inside of and then exploding lifetimes of repeating Asian stereotypes, wrestling with history for the right to control your own narrative in a world that thinks it can tell you who you are.

Archimedes War
Melissa Reeves

Arki hasn't been sleeping well. At night, he is haunted by visions of fallen bodies. Arki isn't a soldier, nor a general, nor a civilian caught in the crossfire. He loves to game. And it's all just a game, isn't it?

Anthem
Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelius, Melissa Reeves, Christos Tsiolkas, Irine Vela

Accidental Death of an Anarchist
Dario Fo, Franca Rame Adapted by Tom Basden

Outwitting his captors, fraudster Maniac dupes police officers into performing a farcical recreation of the incident, exposing the absurd corruption and terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.

Tambo & Bones
Dave Harris

Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show. It's hard to know what's real when you're stuck in a minstrel show. Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.

Years and years ago, Hope disappeared. Now, she's back. To find something she left behind. But in the People's Republic of Koka Kola – a world of dwindling resources, corruption and corporate giants – what happens to Hope?
