SISTREN 'Violet' Community Night
 

SISTREN is Iolanthe's ★★★★★, hit play that took Sydney by storm in 2025. This year it's back and better than ever. 

Isla and Violet are a ‘lethal combination’. Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her ‘Ethel Cain adjacent’ transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises—will Isla and Violet be pulled apart, or will they reign supreme?  

SISTREN’s ‘Violet’ night invites all those who identify with the trans community to share in the experience and discussion of the show, led by Janet Anderson. The night is for trans theatregoers to engage with the work and its themes freely, held and connected with community. 

We kindly request that those who do not identify as trans or gender diverse to please consider attending an alternative performance in the season.

    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
    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
    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.
