| Instructions for Correct Assembly | |||
In a time when artificial intelligence is rewriting how we work, communicate, and even love, Instructions for Correct Assembly arrives on the Sydney stage with uncanny relevance. When Sydney couple, Hari and Max, purchase a build-at- home, artificially intelligent son, they are thrust into a journey of programming, socialising, and reassembling the future they lost. As they introduce their AI "child" to friends and move him into their late son's bedroom, the complexities of grief, pressure, and unmet expectations rise to the surface. The more they try to erase pain, the less human their lives become. Direct from London's Royal Court Theatre, by acclaimed playwright Thomas Eccleshare, Instructions for Correct Assembly is a theatrically inventive, morally tangled work that hacks the heart of the family unit and slices into the anxieties of modern life. ★★★★ “Dazzlingly assured, funny and perturbing... Assemble at once to see it” – The Telegraph 26 June - 5 July | 7.30PM (Sunday 29 June, 5PM matinee)

Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
