What's On

David Williamson's The Club (an all-female, 3 actor version)
 

A football club on the brink of great change. The Club is in crisis – the old guard is being put into question and a new path must be paved.

Tradition vies against innovation in a world in which mateship, casual violence, homophobia and racism are not only commonplace but par for the course, where the pool table and the whiskey bottle are go-tos for letting off steam and the pressure is on to be the hero, to save the team and the name of the club in the process.

A bold new imagining of David Williamson’s classic 1977 play by all-female theatre company, isthisyours?

Performed by just three actors, Williamson’s incisive and hilarious dialogue rings true at a time when women’s roles in the club are no longer confined to being merely spectators or supporters of men, but as true champions of an ever evolving and much loved game.

Presented by isthisyours? at 25A.

    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.
