What's On

Don Reid’s Codgers
 

Riverside Theatres Digital presents Don Reid’s Codgers by Australian Theatre Live. The production will stream in an exclusive online Watch Party on Friday 3 September at 7:30pm, and then will be available to watch on-demand until 10pm Sunday 19 September 2021.

Five senior Aussie men, four of them mates since war service, meet one morning each week in a gymnasium. They exercise, chew the fat about their families, laugh, tease and sing. Together, they solve the problems of the world… even if they must agree to disagree.

But some surprising and disturbing elements enter to test and challenge their comfortable relationships with each other and the world around them. Secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the long-established friendships.

The Codgers Online Watch Party and Interactive Live Chat will also offer a behind-the-scenes insight into the making of the show, featuring a live conversation with members of the creative team: Creative Director of Australian Theatre Live, Producer & Co-Director Grant Dodwell, Riverside Theatres Past Director Robert Love, Director Wayne Harrison, Co-Producer Fiona Press and Shane Porteous.

From Saturday 4 September at 10am to Sunday 19 September 2021 at 10pm inclusive, Codgers will also be available to stream On Demand. During this period of time, viewers can watch as many times as they wish.

    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
    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.
