What's On

The Irresistible
 

Sink your teeth into this binge worthy thriller!

April doesn’t think about the inexplicable event that defined her childhood. Bridget is haunted by memories she just can’t forget. Cassie is not your average child. And whatever happened to those plane crash survivors?

Step into an intoxicating world where time slips and slides. Location is fluid. In this bold and unsettling new work, two exceptional performers bleed between characters to navigate a tangled web of stories. Disturbing new connections will be uncovered. Secrets will invade every crevice, and the tense tapestry of reality will begin to unravel.

You can’t see it. You can barely hear it. Feel it’s breath on your neck for a moment, before it retreats back into the fog.

The Irresistible is the exceptional first collaboration between Side Pony Productions (The Confidence Man, The Pride) and The Last Great Hunt (Falling through Clouds, The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer). Following critically acclaimed seasons at Dark Mofo and HOTA, this enthralling performance will seep into your imagination for days. 

Experience spine-tingling mystery and inescapable tension. Can you resist? 

2018 Helpmann Award Nominee for Best Play.

Presented by the Sydney Opera House. Suitable for ages 14+.

    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
    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.
