What's On

Taz vs The Pleb
 

Set in the small fictional town of Turneybull, in rural NSW, two lovable 16 year-old misfits - besties Taz and Shontelle - decide to take democratic measures into their own hands by hatching a plan to steal to steal all the postal surveys during Australia’s 2017 same sex marriage plebiscite.

Presented by multi-award winning theatre makers Rogue Projects, Kasia Vickery’s debut comedy Taz vs The Pleb is a fast-paced heist parody for ages 14+, jam-packed with high-octane action adventure as Taz and Shontelle dodge a revolving door of wacky townsfolk in a race to rig the survey.

It is a colourful celebration of queer friendship, community and grassroots revolution, brought to life by Sydney's next generation of theatre makers.

Because sometimes you have to break the rules to change them.

    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.

    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.
