What's On

Dubbo Championship Wrestling
 

There’s not a spare seat in the Dubbo Dome. Ozzy the Aussie-Battler flicks his cape and steps into the ring.

Rose, a young woman with wrestling in her blood, has long ago turned her back on the family business and Dubbo’s stifling small-town ways. When circumstance brings her back to her hometown on the eve of Dubbomania, the biggest wrestling tournament of the year, Rose is drawn into a monumental battle over family and identity, featuring capes, choreography, and colourful characters.

The violence, the joy, the costumes, the thumbtacks. Will there be blood? We bloody hope so. Dubbo Championship Wrestling, written by rising stars Daniel and James Cullen and directed by smackdown champion Sheridan Harbridge.

“Dubbo Championship Wrestling is a home-grown musical comedy in the tradition of The Castle and Muriel's Wedding - simple folk with big hearts and big dreams, but now, with big songs and gargantuan smack down fights,” said Sheridan.

Starring Zoe Iannou, Genevieve Lemon, Luke Leong-Tay, Noni McCallum, Terry Serio, Justin Smith, Aaron Tsindos and Bishanyia Vincent.  This is Dubbo Championship Wrestling, the hilarious Aussie rock musical that will change everything you thought you knew about professional wrestling, regional Australia, and musical theatre itself.

    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.
