The Chosen Vessel
Dylan Van Den Berg

From award-winning Palawa playwright, Dylan Van Den Berg (Milk, Whitefella Yella Tree, Way Back When), comes an Aboriginal Gothic Horror and bold adaptation – a radical reimagining of Barbara Baynton's 'The Chosen Vessel'. This alternate version of Baynton's classic Australian story provokes us to reflect on what we choose to see – and what we wilfully ignore.

Caitríona Daly's The Lunch Punch Power Hour in Conference Room 4 is a madcap, hilarious and insightful play about power structures, escapism and resistance.

Red Like Fruit
Hannah Moscovitch

Meet Lauren: a journalist reporting on a high-profile domestic violence case with a growing sense of unease. Now meet Luke, whom Lauren has asked to tell her story.

Lauren's been thinking about a series of sexual events from her adolescence, and something has started to crack. Are these experiences just part of being a woman, or are they trauma? And does Luke have what it takes to help her understand her own life?

Powerful and provocative, Red Like Fruit interrogates…

Green Park
Elias Jamieson Brown

Green Park, picturesque by day, a little eerie by night. It’s where Warren and Edden are meeting, as a prelude to their Grindr hook up. One of them doesn't look like his photo. There's an age gap between them (but what's a decade or three?). And one is harbouring a dangerous secret. In an hour's time, both will leave the park profoundly transformed.

It's the early 1990s and recovering addict Frankie Donnelly has just been sentenced to three and a half years in jail for dealing drugs. In the most unexpected of places, he discovers that the revolution is not dead. It's just sleeping.

Poor Clare
Chiara Atik

Clare has it all. She's a noblewoman living her best life in medieval Italy, trying out hairstyles, and sharing the latest gossip with her sister and maids.

Everything is on track for her to marry some super-rich nobleman and live super-richly ever after. But on the streets of Assisi, she meets Francis, who's sharing some of the wildest ideas Clare has ever heard. And when she listens to what he has to say, her eyes are opened to a whole new way of living.

Chiara Atik's play…

What's Yours
Keziah Warner

Funny, messy, heart-breaking and hopeful, What's Yours offers new and unique insight to the growing childfree-by-choice movement, celebrating the enduring power of women's friendship and lives lived on their own terms.

The Estate
Shaan Sahota

The Leader of the Opposition has been forced to resign in a scandal. Against the odds, Angad Singh emerges as the favourite. He could win, he could make history, he could really change things – as long as his sisters keep their mouths shut…

Four Play
Jake Brunger

Rafe and Pete have the kind of relationship people envy. Seven years strong, perfectly in sync… except for one little thing. Neither of them has ever been with anyone else. So, when they hatch a plan to scratch their proverbial itch, who better than mutual friend Michael?

After all, Michael does this… right? And his partner Andy knows… right?

What begins as an intellectual experiment in sexual exploration quickly escalates into a chaotic web of emotional…

sitting, screaming
Madelaine Nunn

At the doorway between innocence and maturity, simply getting through the day can feel like an eternity—especially when loneliness, grief and abuse of power get in the way. Shortlisted for the Rodney Seaborn Playwrights Award and longlisted for the Griffin Award, sitting, screaming is a raw and gripping exploration of how vulnerable young people slip through the cracks.
