What's On

The Lady Vanishes
 

When Iris Carr befriends kindly governess Miss Froy on a train bound for England, she never imagines that she will become embroiled in a madcap caper, with a plot worthy of Hitchcock himself. After a brief nap, Iris awakes to find Miss Froy gone. What’s more, all the other passengers claim never to have seen the woman at all. As Iris frantically searches the train for her new friend, a cast of outrageous characters thwart her every move (and keep the audience in stitches).

In this hilarious adaptation of Ethel Lina White’s novel The Wheel Spins, Iris stops at nothing to prove the existence of Miss Froy. With the help of flirtatious Max and his haughty friend the Professor, Iris hurtles up and down the train, leaving no carriage (or cloche) unturned. Can Iris find Miss Froy before it’s too late? Or will the audience die laughing before the lady reappears?

  • 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.

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

    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.

    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.
  • Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
