Mansplaining
 

How do women survive in a man’s world? Allow award-winning duo, Alice Tovey and Ned Dixon to mansplain as they re-write the man-ual with their razor-sharp show, Mansplaining.

“Alice Tovey’s insightful musical comedy skewers gender expectations” (The Age), taking audiences on a journey of masculinity, misogyny and the millennial man.

Original songs such as ‘Mansplaination’ and ‘I’m Not Racist…I Just Say Racist Things’ are layered in meaning and hilarious in execution. A mixed media presentation of music, voice, kazoos, and Destiny’s Child sock puppets, Mansplaining is a “confident, proud and bright” (Herald Sun) production that embodies the “feminist, political and brilliantly cynical” (The Australian) style Tovey and Dixon are renowned for.

"Humour for the thinking person wrapped up in masterful music, witty repartee, and some self-deprecating insight." ★★★★★ - Weekend Notes

"Fans of Tim Minchin will be right at home here." – Australian Arts Review

"Feminist, political and brilliantly cynical." - The Australian

"Confident, proud and bright." - Herald Sun

    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.

    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.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    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.
  • 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.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    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.
