Superbly performed by the ensemble, this collaboration is unlike any of Bangarra’s previous works and introduces Australian audiences to an entirely new physical vocabulary that is both powerful and lyrical.

That Mandela Mathia is alive and has made it to Australia is a testament to luck and extraordinary resilience. That this young NIDA-trained actor’s life story is now a play in Belvoir Theatre’s 2024 Season is a celebration of refugees making a new, successful life for themselves.

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.
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.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
