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.

    MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    Stage Kiss | New Theatre
    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
