Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
 

Following the critically-acclaimed premiere season at Riverside Theatres for National Theatre of Parramatta in 2018, Belvoir is pleased to bring Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam to the mainstage from 6th February to 8th March.

Based on the 1993 novella by renowned Australian author and medical practitioner, Peter Goldsworthy AM, and adapted by Helpmann Award nominee, Steve Rodgers, Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam explores the life of the Pollards, an Australian family like any other, whose world is flipped on its head when illness breaches their sanctuary.

This is a play that swings the emotional extremes – the laughter of found love, the tears of facing up to goodbyes. How far would you go for family?

    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.

    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.

    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.
