Heaven
 

Bitchen Wolf presents the Australian premiere of Irish playwright Eugene O’Brien’s Heaven at Qtopia Sydney’s Loading Dock Theatre from 14 to 31 May.

Heaven is a hilarious yet heart-wrenching examination of identity, regret, and the lives we secretly long for.

On the weekend of a wedding in rural Ireland, Mal and Mairead’s 20-year marriage is quietly crumbling. For Mal, a buried queer desire, once repressed in favour of a "normal" life, suddenly resurfaces when a Christlike young man reignites his forbidden fantasies.

For Mairead, a fiery, tough-as-nails woman who married Mal to escape her own reckless romantic past, the weekend throws her face-to-face with the one who got away—the man who still holds a piece of her heart.

    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.
