What's On

Djuna by Eva Rees
 

From the cutting-edge queer theatre makers that brought Melbourne The Inheritance, In The Club and The Gospel According to Jesus and Queen of Heaven, comes a razor-sharp new collaboration with trans playwright Eva Rees. 

Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy, the psychological thriller has been directed by Bullet Heart Club’s Kitan Petkovski and promises to captivate and challenge audiences with its provocative exploration of identity, power, and the complexities of human connection.

Set within the charged intimacy of a hotel room, Djuna follows the two-year affair between a young trans woman Djuna (Jay Gold) and Marcus (Dion Mills), an older and purportedly heterosexual man. Both characters in this play are queer in their own ways, from different generations, brought together in this hotel room to explore themselves in ways they can't anywhere else.

Djuna offers a scintillating perspective on queer exploration, from a ground-breaking local company.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • 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.
