What's On

George Rigden - Self-Inflicted
 

In 2020, George Rigden was roundly (and rightly) cancelled, and his life fell apart. In 2025, he was finally diagnosed with autism, finally sobered up - and began to put his life back together.

Now, more than half a decade on from his life falling apart, he’s finally stable (and sober) enough to talk about it.

An interactive musical comedy show about attempted redemption, coming to understand yourself & self-improvement, while also staying true to yourself.

A hilarious, heart-wrenching musical romp through the life of someone who’s been to hell and back through their own self-destructibe tendencies, and lived to tell the tale. (Its funnier than it sounds. A lot funnier.)

    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
    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.

    Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
    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.
