Cyrano de Bergerac – it’s a long one indeed. That is, the famous nose and the Sport for Jove’s production itself. Time flies however, with modern updates to the classic tale and lively characters who ensnare attention.

Helios | Wright & Grainger
Helios begins with the ancient Greek myth of Phaeton and gently pulls it into something recognisably human: school buses, mixtapes, teenage dares, grief, fathers, first kisses and one bright gold car.
Sheltering | Bangarra

The Sapphires | Canberra Theatre Centre and Queensland Theatre Company
There is a reason The Sapphires has become one of Australia's most beloved musicals.
