What's On

Everybody
 

Produced by Cross Pollinate Productions, EVERYBODY by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is coming to Sydney on 6 March at Kings Cross Theatre.

A finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Price, and described as "theatre rather unlike anything you might have seen" (The Huffington Post), EVERYBODY brings the talent of some of Sydney's most exciting actors together for a unique theatrical experience where the actors' roles are determined by a lottery live on stage at every show. This means that each performance has one hundred and twenty different potential casting variations. It is literally a different show every night.

A modern adaptation of the fifteenth century morality play Everyman, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play follows a central protagonist (chosen from the cast by lottery at each performance) as they make their journey to a final reckoning. Along the way, they will try to convince Friendship, Family, Strength and others to accompany them on their quest, in an attempt to answer life's greatest mystery.

The pairing of emerging and established artists, occupying the intimate and accessible Kings Cross Theatre is truly an exciting and unique theatrical event.

    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
    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.
