What's On

Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)

Direct from its triumph in London’s West End, where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, this unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) comes to Wollongong!

Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the romance stakes couldn’t be higher.

Lizzie and Jane may have found their match, but now the story is in the hands of the servants of Longbourne!

You might have seen them before, emptying the chamber pots and sweeping ash from the grate — the overlooked and the undervalued making sure those above stairs find their happy ending. Of course, these women have always been running the show — after all, “You can’t have a whirlwind romance without clean bedding” — but now the servants are also playing every part. Let the ruthless match-making begin!

Full of massive pop-hits, this karaoke-fuelled and raucous night out comes to Wollongong as five fearless performers bring Austen’s world to life with heart, humour and unstoppable energy.

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
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.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
Cadaver Synod | NIDA and bAKEHOUSE Theatre Co
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.

Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

Sheltering | Bangarra
Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
