What's On

Head | Thorax | Abdomen
 

Join us at the legendary La Mama Courthouse for Head | Thorax | Abdomen

Wendy, David and Isha are trapped inside a terrible mystery. Addressed by an unseen voice, they struggle to piece together the narratives of their interconnected lives and solve this surreal puzzle before it is too late. Welcome to their confusion and panic.

Part jet-black comedy, part post-modern thriller, part tragedy - Kafka meets David Lynch.

“...takes the audience to some dark and twisted places, and what could be more entertaining than that?” - MY MELBOURNE ARTS

“... rather wonderfully, writer James Hazelden has unfolded the original story in new dimensions, hinting at greater mysteries…” - THE AUSTRALIAN

    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
    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
