The Crown Jewels
Simon Nye

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.

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

Anthem registers the pulse of the nation in a country unable to reconcile its past and uncertain of its future. With no easy answers, it asks the urgent question of who we are now — does Australia really sing with one voice?

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?

In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike. The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth.

Bleak Expectations
Mark Evans

Mark Evans' stage play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, chaotic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, pulse-quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and definitely, probably, hopefully a happy ending.

The Suspicions of Mr Whicher
Kate Summerscale Adapted by Alexandra Wood

Summer 1860, an elegant country house, a young boy is found dead in an outside privy. Over twenty years later, still haunted by the case, Jonathan Whicher from Scotland Yard visits the murderer. 

Frankenstein
adapted by Christine Davey, based on the novel by Mary Shelley

A funny, thoughtful, horrific and remarkable story of love, power, friendship, betrayal and every emotion in between. Frankenstein is a larger-than-life (and death) production celebrating and unleashing the monster in all of us. A visceral piece of theatre that grabs at your heart and soul and never lets go.
