Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is based on an 1890s story by Oscar Wilde.

Lord Arthur Savile is engaged to the lovely Sybil Merton. His future mother-in-law, Lady Julia Merton, is less than enthusiastic about the match and employs her fortune-teller,

Mr Podgers, to read Lord Arthur’s palm to find out if there are any indiscretions in Arthur’s past and future. The fortune-teller confidentially tells Arthur that he sees murder ahead! Feeling duty bound and desiring a blissful married life, Lord Arthur decides – of course – that the only logical course of action is to get this dreadfully embarrassing act out of the way before his wedding in three weeks’ time. But staging the perfect murder proves not nearly as easy as he thought!

Stage Kiss | New Theatre

Simone Young conducts Mahler’s Song of the Earth | Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Young, O’Neill, Ionis, and indeed every member of the orchestra understood how to let this music crack open the psyche, yet hold us there in ways that can transfigure our souls.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight
Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.
The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
