Champions
 

Little Goat Arts & Entertainment presents the Australian Premiere of CHAMPIONS, a sharp, lyrical, and moving exploration of ambition, success, and the cost of creativity, as part of The Old Fitz Theatre's New Works Festival from 11-26 October.

CHAMPIONS takes audiences into contemporary art's competitive, high-stakes world, where ambition and greed blur the line between success and survival. It asks: when winning becomes everything, what sacrifices are you willing to make?

The story follows four emerging artists who are thrust into the spotlight when nominated for the prestigious Archer Award. With just six months to create their best work and a $50,000 prize on the line, tensions rise. When one finalist refuses a proposal to share the prize, the gloves come off, and no one is prepared for what happens next.

Fresh off an extended, critically acclaimed run at Auckland's Basement Theatre, CHAMPIONS is a poetic and razor-sharp dissection of the lengths we go to for success.

    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.
