Merrigong Theatre Company and Christine Dunstan productions will present TIM, at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre 16 – 19 August as part of its premiere regional tour.

TIM a novel written by Australian icon Colleen McCullough and has been sensitively adapted for the stage by acclaimed playwright Tim McGarry.  

An unorthodox relationship develops between Mary, a career-driven business executive in her mid-50s, and Tim, a handsome 25-year-old labourer with a mild intellectual disability. Tim has grown up in a small but loving, working-class family who have tried to shelter him from the cruelness of the world. What begins as a chance meeting between them, soon develops into a life-changing relationship with shattering consequences.

The lighting and sound for all performances of Tim has been carefully designed to not cause any distress to patrons who are living with sensory sensitivities or on the Autism spectrum.

Sat 19 Aug, 1.30pm performance will have a tactile tour, and captioning/Audio Description service for the benefit of patrons who are d/Deaf or have low or no vision.

    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.
