What's On

A Chance to Address the Amish Rumours
 

Stephanie Hare grew up off the electricity grid without the internet, phone reception, TV, or even a fridge. When her mother was twenty-three, she left Melbourne, bought a goat, and built a house out of firewood in the middle-of-nowhere Tasmania. Now Steph is twenty-three and she’s written a comedy show about it.

Her little brother used to finger knit harnesses and ride the goat like a horse; her father spent weeks living in a cave; her mother snuck into the neighbours’ paddocks at night to shear their sheep; and Steph thought that was all pretty normal until she moved to Melbourne.

This is a whimsical show that encapsulates the absurdity of rural life, the chaos of being a twenty-something, and how much Steph loves Instagram reels.

    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.

    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.

    At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.

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