What's On

Arawarra
 

A freedom fighter, a Ngandah, a protector and a First Nations leader at the time of colonisation.

The story of Arawarra was erased from the history books, dwarfed by the arrival and impact of Alexander Berry, who changed the Shoalhaven landscape forever. Told with courage, tenderness and humanity, Arawarra unearths the hidden story of this country, and celebrates one of the many heroes on the wrong side of history.

Created in collaboration between Dharawal language teacher, Jake Māra, and director Lincoln Smith, Arawarra is a story of local and national significance that we need to reckon with as a nation to understand the truth of where we have come from and forge a path forward together.

    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
    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.
