What's On

The Cardinal Rules
 

With original concept and story by Rose Maher and direction by Ali Gordon, this inventive eulogy mashes heartfelt personal storytelling with visually stunning physical theatre, inspired by Rose’s Catholic upbringing in Canberra circa 1997.

The Cardinal Rules explores the beauty and complexity of a tight knit community, indoctrinated into silence when their voices were needed the most.

With a dynamic ensemble cast led by actor, theatre-maker and clown Rose Maher, we are transported into the childhood delight of the mystery of church and the adult questioning of identity.

Touching and playful, this ambitious new work invites you into a conversation about the moments that shift our faith and perspective.

The Cardinal Rules is presented as part of MERRIGONGX’s Artist Program and has been supported by Shopfront Arts Co-Op’s Open Shop, HotHouse Theatre’s GreenHouse: National Artist Residency and The University of Sydney’s Theatre & Performance Studies Residency and Erth.

    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.
