A lush Gothic fable, The Nightingale And The Rose, explores the beauty of love, art, creation and song from the perspective of an effervescent nightingale who hears the longing cries of a young student desperate to find a red rose to give to his sweetheart.

PERSONAL BY JODEE MUNDY

To bare one’s soul on stage, as the performer does, time and time again, is an already brave undertaking, but what if the performance allowed for a dive deeper, and what if it was littered with personal mementos, childhood keepsakes and the live action interspersed by old family film, what of it then? This is…

RIGHT NOW

“Right Now” is a work written by Catherine-Anne Toupin and translated by Chris Campbell. It’s a slippery yet tightly wound work that paints in subversive strokes; a minimal tale between neighbours, it plays out in a crisp, modern, charcoal-colored interior that is as non-descript as it is familiar.

FIERCE

Australia we have a problem, and we need to talk. Society is caught in a somewhat perpetual cycle of male dominance, and toxic masculinity is everywhere. Wage discrepancy, violence against woman and rape culture are all to often commonplace, or, more worryingly, all too often swept under the rug. Where in this testosterone driven place…

COLDER

Colder- a work that at its heart deals with the loss and the decay of our  closest relationships; in the midst of a loved one going missing what is left of the emotional landscape in their wake? Heavy material that plays on memory and provides a dark playground for the cast to idle away amongst-…
