Scuttlers
Rona Munro

A thrillingly fast-paced play about youthful disaffection, protest and violence, drawing on the history of the Scuttlers, the youth gangs of nineteenth-century Manchester.

Fury
Joanna Murray-Smith

In the harrowing unfolding of hypocrisies and brash pragmatism, Fury hones in on our true motivations and their lasting consequences.

True Minds
Joanna Murray-Smith

True Minds is cogent and facetious. When two families on the brink of matrimonial union become stranded in a freak storm, will the couples’ dawning incompatibility coax them to fight for integrity as the only reliably stable choice?

Day One, a Hotel, Evening
Joanna Murray-Smith

Graciously irreverent, this play explores the revelations of three couples entangled in a web of extra-marital indiscretions. It asks us, ‘What is love?’ in a glaringly honest, deeply searching and ultimately sobering way.

Tiger Country
Nina Raine

Nina Raine's Tiger Country is a hospital play that follows a tangle of doctors and nurses in a busy London hospital. Professionalism and prejudice, turbulent staff romances, ambition and failure collide in this swirling, action-packed drama about an overburdened health service that we all depend on and the dedicated individuals that keep it going.

The Berry Man
Patricia Cornelius

The Berry Man is a searing indictment of the consequences of war, with the humour and fragile, flawed characters that are a trademark of Cornelius' writing.

Do Not Go Gentle ...
Patricia Cornelius

In this wondrous play, Scott's ill-fated Antarctic expedition is a metaphor for the elusive journey of five elderly people facing the final leg of their travels.

The Witch of Edmonton
Thomas Dekker, John Ford, William Rowley

In the village of Edmonton, Elizabeth Sawyer is shunned by her neighbours. A poor and lonely old woman, she is harassed and accused of being a witch. In her abject misery, she wishes that she really were bewitched and so able to have her revenge. Unluckily for Elizabeth and the villagers of Edmonton, someone with the power to grant that wish is listening.

Urinetown: The Musical
Greg Kotis, Mark Hollmann

In a Gotham-like city, a depletion of the Earth's water supply has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The privilege to pee is regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging for one of humanity's most basic needs. From amongst the people, a hero has risen who will lead them to freedom.

 

Stray
R Johns

A Homeric Odyssey told from the perspective of a stray dog as he journeys through Melbourne's urban landscape. Raw performance, a designed soundscape and an epic and poetic text combine to create an extraordinary adventure.
