What's On

Seventeen
 

Cheeky and profound, Matthew Whittet’s Seventeen takes place in a playground on the night after the last day of school. A group of seventeen-year-old friends get together to celebrate, get hammered, to spill secrets, confess love and take a giant step into the unknown.  

But in a theatrical twist, all roles are performed by older actors who were seventeen many years ago, giving them the chance to be what is seldom asked of them anymore – to be vital, hilarious, in love and terrified of the future.  

Seventeen features an all-star Australian cast including Di Smith (A Country Practice, Puberty Blues, Wellmania), Katrina Foster (Seachange, All Saints, While The Men Are Away), Di Adams (Troppo, While The Men Are Away), Noel Hodda (Sons And Daughters, Janet King), Peter Kowitz (Crownies, Janet King, Bodysurfers, Packed To The Rafters) and Colin Moody (Peter Rabbit, The Chronicles Of Narnia, Something In The Air).

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
