Australia co-productionDirected by Sam StrongOn now - 6 AprilTHE TRUE
LOVE STORY OF CHARMIAN CLIFT, GEORGE JOHNSTON AND MY BROTHER JACKThey
were writers, dreamers and free spirits. In the 1950s, Australian
authors Charmian Clift and George Johnston fled halfway across the
world to the idyllic Greek island of Hydra, determined to carve out a
bohemian living as artists. Award-winning Sue Smith weaves the
original writings of two of Australia’s literary icons into a moving
relationship drama. She conjures the passion and intensity of the near
mythical ‘King and Queen of Hydra’ as they follow their dream,
only to end up in a Greek tragedy of their own making.Barbara and the
Camp Dogs by Ursula Yovich and Alana ValentineA Belvoir production in
association with Vicki Gordon Music Productions1 - 25 MayA
ROCK’N’ROLL FAMILY REUNION THAT WILL BREAK YOUR HEART AND FILL IT
WITH SONGSHitting the big time is tough when the only booking your
kick-ass band can score is a pub gig. But the boisterous, bolshie
Barbara and her rockers the Camp Dogs are in it for the long haul.
Part madcap buddy comedy, part electrifying rock gig, and part clarion
call against the taint of inequality, this effervescent play with
songs sold out its original season at Sydney’s Belvoir Theatre. Now
it’s set to charm the pants off Brisbane.City of Gold by Meyne
WyattA Griffin Theatre Company co-production29 June - 20 JulyA BATTLE
CRY FROM THE FRONT LINE OF AUSTRALIAN IDENTITYAll Breythe ever wanted
was to be an actor, but this isn’t how he imagined his first big
television gig – as a young Aboriginal man, being the face of a
disastrous misfire of an advertisement that will get him roasted by
his mob. Rising star Meyne Wyatt’s debut play is as riveting and
unflinchingly honest as his stage presence. Urgent, wryly funny and
politically incendiary, City of Gold is a call for change that will
sound out for years to come.Fangirls - Book, music & lyrics by Yve
BlakeA Belvoir and Brisbane Festival co-production in association with
Australian Theatre for Young People7 September - 5 OctoberTHE NEW
MUSICAL COMEDY ABOUT A POORLY UNDERSTOOD FORCE OF NATUREMeet Edna:
She’s 14, chronically awkward, and everyone thinks she’s a serial
liar. But none of this will matter when her REAL life starts. With
Harry. There’s just one problem, Harry is in True Connection - the
world’s biggest boyband. This world premiere by gifted young
comedian, singer and playwright Yve Blake is stacked with insanely
catchy numbers that will take you straight back to your first crush
and make you feel ALL THE FEELS.Antigone - adapted by Merlynn Tong
after Sophocles26 October - 16 NovemberTHE EPIC ARGUMENT RAGES ONA
great city has been torn apart by a civil war between two brothers. In
the aftermath, both lie dead – one hailed as a hero and lying in
state, the other condemned as a traitor and dumped in a carrion pile.
From the ashes of their conflict rises a dystopian state under a new
leader – a career politician who rose to power by dint of her
ruthlessness. In this lyrical adaptation of Sophocles’ timeless
tragedy, award-winning Brisbane playwright Merlynn Tong adds an urgent
modern twist, reuniting Christen O’Leary and Jessica Tovey after
their triumphant pairing in Twelfth Night.Secure your 3 Play Ticket
