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.

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

    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.

    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.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • 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.
