LORENZO
Ben Targét

LORENZO is a show that confronts the messiness of ageing and dying through the medium of storytelling, servitude to the audience and live carpentry, a combination not seen on the world stage since Nazareth circa 30AD.

My Sister Jill
Patricia Cornelius

The youngest in the family, Christine idolises her father, especially his stories of wartime heroics. Her sister Jill, meanwhile, doesn't quite share the same sentiments. As the intensity of the Vietnam War looms, the stories slowly start to lose their shine and war threatens to break a new generation apart. At once compelling, captivating and ultimately hopeful, My Sister Jill has all the makings of an Australian classic.

The Invincibles
Amanda Whittington

Amanda Whittington's play The Invincibles celebrates two generations of inspirational women, and their adventures on the football pitch a century apart. 

Powerful, angry and surprising, The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man imagines an alternative history of the person who came to be known as 'the Elephant Man'. It restores Joseph Merrick to the centre of his own story: a man fighting for his right to be and to belong.

Franz Kafka Adapted by Lemn Sissay

Nakkiah Lui

A lonely kid in rural Australia, fair-skinned Sarah Jane Jones is deathly sure of two things: 1. She's the best dancer in the whole town of Chithole, and 2. She's a proud Aboriginal woman. There's very little proof of either of these things. So, when a long-lost photograph offers hope of her Indigenous ancestry, Sarah Jane high-tails it to the glitziest casino in Brisvegas. Her mission? To land a role in the First Nations burlesque spectacular: 'Blaque Showgirls'... by any means…

Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World
Javaad Alipoor With Chris Thorpe

Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World is an investigation into the nature of investigation. It is a thrilling ride down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia and true-crime podcasts, sorting through the tangle of information available online to reveal the limits of the search engines in solving a decades-old cold case.
