What's On

Hamlet Camp

The Hamlets are back!

Following a sell-out world premiere season, three stars of Australian stage and screen – Brendan Cowell, Ewen Leslie, and Toby Schmitz – reunite for a night of poetry, pith and play in Hamlet Camp.

Through an intimate, self-help slaughterhouse session of soliloquies, swords and sublime word play, the play wrestles with the conundrum that being cast as the Danish Prince (the most sought-after role in theatre history) is both a blessing and a lifelong curse.

Prepare for an evening of laughs, tears and bewilderment as Cowell, Leslie and Schmitz lay bare an actor’s life of friendship, passion, cruelty, glory and chaos.

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Uked! | Bondi Theatre Company
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
The Can Principle | Jonny Pasvolsky
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.
The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.

Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
The Book of Mormon
Once again we are treated to the door knocking, knee slapping, pearl clutching hilarity that has taken the world by storm and remained a popular success amongst the more devilish of us theatre patrons the world over.
Pretty Woman The Musical
Adapting a beloved film with the cultural status of 1990s Pretty Woman is a huge creative swing.
The Jungle and the Sea | Belvoir St Theatre
The Jungle and the Sea is one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen.
