| Trent Dalton’s Love Stories | |||
Riverside Theatres is thrilled to present the Sydney premiere of the smash-hit adaptation of Trent Dalton’s best-selling book Love Stories at Riverside Theatres Paramatta from 11th – 20th September 2025. After a sold-out Brisbane Festival debut season in 2024, playing to more than 20,000 ecstatic audience members, the critically acclaimed Brisbane Festival and Queensland Performing Arts production comes to Riverside Theatres as part of a five-city Australasian tour visiting Paramatta, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, and Auckland. Love Stories is brought to life by the creative team behind the blockbuster page-to-stage adaptation of Boy Swallows Universe with acclaimed playwright Tim McGarry at the helm, capturing the beating heart of humanity through real-life tales of passion and heartbreak. Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 gathering stories on his sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on a prominent street corner in Brisbane’s CBD. Speaking to Australians from all walks of life, he asked them one simple thing: ‘Can you please tell me a love story?’. This poignant and funny masterpiece features a stellar cast of ten including Rashidi Edward (Belvoir’s Wayside Bride), Jason Klarwein (ABC’s In Our Blood), Anna McGahan (La Boite Theatre’s Closer), Ngoc Phan (Queensland Theatre’s Vietgone), Will Tan (Paramount Plus’ Paper Dolls), Valerie Bader (Ensemble’s The Heartbreak Choir), Kirk Page (Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Wudjang: Not the Past, ABC’s Mystery Roads), Bryan Probets (Netflix’s Boy Swallows Universe), Jacob Watton (RAVA’s Charlotte's Web) and Hsin-Ju Ely (La Boite Theatre’s The Poison of Polygamy). Don’t miss this moving celebration of love, laughter, and the resilience of the human spirit.

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.
