Why Us?
 

Prepare to be moved as Why Us? gives a platform for young refugees to share their stories. Watch the real-life stories of teenage refugees who are learning to call Australia their new home.

This production delves into the devastating impact of war, tearing lives apart in a sudden burst of violence, leaving families displaced and searching for a place to call home. You have a new name now—refugee—and a new life to construct.

Through spoken word, lights, sound and movement, these young survivors share their stories. Why Us? invites you to embark on an emotional journey where you'll laugh, cry, and be inspired by resilience.

Witness the transformative power of theatre as Treehouse Theatre paints a vivid picture of the teenage refugee experience. This performance invites us all to reflect on our own lives and the broader world we inhabit.

    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
    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.
