What's On

SISTREN 'Violet' Community Night
 

SISTREN is Iolanthe's ★★★★★, hit play that took Sydney by storm in 2025. This year it's back and better than ever. 

Isla and Violet are a ‘lethal combination’. Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her ‘Ethel Cain adjacent’ transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises—will Isla and Violet be pulled apart, or will they reign supreme?  

SISTREN’s ‘Violet’ night invites all those who identify with the trans community to share in the experience and discussion of the show, led by Janet Anderson. The night is for trans theatregoers to engage with the work and its themes freely, held and connected with community. 

We kindly request that those who do not identify as trans or gender diverse to please consider attending an alternative performance in the season.

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

    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.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
