A bit of history and a lot of fun from the Pop-up Globe team. Take some kids and introduce them to Shakespeare and the Globe in the most fun way.

It might sound cliched to say this award-winning New York performance artist creates a sense of epic communion, but you’d be hard pushed to find someone in the world who does it better.

Continuing their exceptional season of productions, StageArt closes 2017 with perhaps their most ambitious project yet. Memphis, a jukebox musical with an upbeat score and a timely message to Australia.

If one were to summaries this production in a single word, that word might very well be “uncertainty”…

Don’t miss this, it’s as satisfyingly dramatic and spectacular a production of Othello as you’re likely to see.

You know when you’re looking at your date for the theatre wearing a paper bag over their head, and you are peering through your own, the evening has gone a little bit awry.

Ever since it's first performance in 1599(ish), Much Ado About Nothing has been one of Shakespeare’s most popular and frequently performed plays.

Henry V, Shakespeare’s patriotic 1599 ‘call to arms’ at the Pop-up Globe is another treat from the King’s Company in the best possible environment.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
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.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
