THE PASSION OF PAULINE: a live documentary
 

A funny, eerie, irreverent, hearts-and-minds-shifting live-documentary, The Passion of Pauline doesn’t just want to tell an activist’s story — it looks to further her mission.

Activist Pauline Campbell sacrificed everything fighting to improve or outright abolish prisons, so, of course, the government tried to lock her up in one. But if a criminal trial is nothing but a pompous gameshow, why can’t you and I go back and do a TV rerun?!

Oh, and we'll be playing against talking chimpanzees... Lots and lots... of talking chimpanzees.

"Working in the Fringe-y theatre biz, I've seen a million shows... But I've never seen anything quite like this one... It's great, yeah, but the work isn't just entertainment, it's IMPORTANT." - Audience member who's in the biz.

    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
    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.
