What's On

Urza and the Song in the Dark
 

A girl free-falls through filtered light
A barefoot child slips silently between stalagmites evading a shadowy beast 
A legendary explorer searches for a lost song

Join Matriark Theatre's first showing of Urza and the Song in the Dark as part of The Sydney Fringe 

In this new children’s fable, a mysterious song leads a young girl on an adventure into the depths of the earth. Along the way she befriends a lost explorer, gets pursued by a terrifying and ancient dark force and finds herself caught up in a primeval story of legendary proportions.

Using beautiful puppetry, live music, original songs and stunningly layered, shadow visuals, Urza is a unique work for young and old. Perfect for children ages 8+ Urza and The Song in the Dark will have a limited season as a part of the Sydney Fringe Festival in 2018.

    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
    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
    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.
