What's On

Brisbane by Matthew Ryan
 

Australia. 1942. Fourteen-year-old Danny Fisher is coming of age when his hometown of Brisbane is invaded by the American Armed Forces under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. While events in the Pacific threaten to tear Danny’s family apart, he meets an American pilot, and hatches a dangerous plan. Australian soldiers, dance halls, riots and grief all make an appearance in this authentic Australian story. ‘Brisbane’ is a celebration of a childhood and a city – and a requiem for all that was lost.

    Present Laughter | New Theatre
    Festooned with verbal foliage that has not desiccated over eight decades, Noel Coward’s Present Laughter is a present of much needed laughter leading up to the silly season.

    Festival of Death and Dying 2025
    The Festival of Death and Dying is not just a festival – it is a tender, artist-led act of remembering, and a deeply human invitation to witness ourselves, one another, and the stories that insist on being carried forward.
  • Messiah (Original Dublin Version, 1742) | Pinchgut Opera
    Messiah (Original Dublin Version, 1742) | Pinchgut Opera
    Vivacious and virtuosic, Pinchgut Opera’s intimate rendition is rooted deeply in research and the practice of historical performance, yet unmistakably Sydney – unmistakably Australian – in its swift, vibrant, and exhilarating delivery.
