The Elevator
 

Ensemble Theatre presents the world premiere of ‘The Elevator’ by Eloise Snape, a sharp, funny and fearless new Australian comedy, from 18 September - 18 October 2026. 

Starring Leeanna Walsman making her Ensemble debut and directed by Anthea Williams, ‘The Elevator’ is a no-fluff office satire filled with a whirlwind of laughs and truth bombs. 

Margot’s back from mat leave, and she’s not messing around. 

Before nappies and sleepless nights, Eco Engines was spiralling through a PR meltdown, tanking faster than you can say “carbon footprint.” Now she’s back in the CEO chair, ready to rally her team of corporate eco-warriors and clean up the mess. 

But her comeback hits a snag when she gets stuck in the office lift. As tensions rise, Margot’s cool starts melting faster than the polar ice caps. 

‘The Elevator’ is a sharp, funny and fearless new Australian comedy that’s anything but clean. Green washing, corporate spin and tangled lies, playwright Eloise Snape delivers office politics at its most unhinged, a darkly funny world premiere that is not to be missed.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
