What's On

Into the Woods
 

From the 18 March, the Belvoir stage will be transformed for an inventive, surprising, gorgeous, lo-fi spectacular production of Into the Woods.

Brought to the Sydney mainstage for the first time in thirty years, this musical will enthral audiences with its darkly comedic and utterly entertaining reimagining of the familiar Brothers Grimm fairy tales.

Into the Woods will have audiences questioning what ‘happily ever after’ means, proving nothing is as black and white as the children’s stories would have them believe.

It begins, of course, with “Once upon a time…” By the end of the opening number not one but six fairytale plots have intertwined, as Cinderella, the Baker and his Wife, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack of beanstalk fame all head into the woods in search of love, happiness, wisdom. Three midnights of brilliant plot twists later they all end up with their happy endings. Except this is only the interval…

We all want our wishes fulfilled, but are we prepared to pay the price?

    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.
