Hometown - Spare Parts Puppet Theatre
 

Inspired by a story by Shaun Tan

Enter a world of extraordinary creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes with Hometown, a new puppet musical inspired by a story by Shaun Tan.

Embark on an epic journey through the eyes of a young girl as she faces a life-altering decision: stay with the family who has lovingly raised her, or venture into the unknown to discover a new world and a family she’s yet to meet.

Brought to life by an award-winning creative team in a masterful collaboration with one of Australia’s most successful graphic novelists, Hometown weaves a visually stunning tale about connection, belonging, and the power of love to conquer fear and break down prejudices.

Monday 6 January to  Saturday 25 January
10am & 1pm daily
No performances Sundays.

    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 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.

    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
