What's On

Two Weeks

Merrigong Theatre Company’s annual artists’ program, MERRIGONGX presents Two Weeks by Siobhán Doran-Chaston at the Illawarra Performing Art Centre from the 28th to 30th May 2026.

First drafted over twenty years ago, loosely inspired by the lives of Siobhán and her now-husband, and her work as an usher at Riverside Studios in London, Two Weeks is an intimate play that tackles the big questions — life, death, the universe — to uncover the staggering truth, beauty, humour, and triviality in all our lives.

Rosie and Tom are a seriously loved-up, screenwatching, couch-rotting, twenty-something couple who spend their nights riffing on everything and nothing.

But as they find solace (and a quiet magic) in each other and the mundane, a countdown has begun towards a cataclysmic event that will change everything.

The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
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.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
