My Best Dead Friend

Event Date: 11/10/2019, 07:45 pm

Win a Double pass to My Best Dead Friend playing at Riverside Theatres
Fresh from the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Riverside Theatres will present the Sydney premiere of the award-winning, comedy-theatre show, My Best Dead Friend, from October 11th to 12th.

December 1998. Dunedin, New Zealand. High summer in a town where there is not a lot to do. Restless and inspired by reading Karl Marx, Anya and her friends set out on a night of vigilante poetic justice in an attempt to liberate Dunedin from its toxic masculinity. Devastatingly for these young idealists, their attempt doesn’t quite go to plan. Told through a series of tragi-comic reflections of the time and ten years later, My Best Dead Friend is a hilarious tale about death, friendship, revolution, unfulfilled love…and a possum.

Part stage-play and part stand-up, My Best Dead Friend has been created by New Zealand theatre-makers Isobel MacKinnon and Anya Tate-Manning who is also the star of the show. The show features a deeply nostalgic soundtrack with songs from The Verlaines to the Backstreet Boys, and the words of poets Hone Tuwhare, James K. Baxter and Rewi Maniapoto.

A hit around the world with acclaimed seasons in New Zealand, Melbourne, Perth and Edinburgh, My Best Dead Friend is a joyful and vibrant coming of age story all about friendship.

Co-creators Anya Tate-Manning and Isobel MacKinnon; Director Isobel MacKinnon; With Anya Tate-Manning

Bondi Legal

Event Date: 11/10/2019, 07:00 pm

The Bondi Theatre Company bring Bondi Legal
The fish out of water comedy is inspired by an actual court case the playwright/solicitor Tony Laumberg took on early in his career.

In the case a Bondi woman applied horse shampoo to her daughter’s prized show pony just before the Royal Easter Show. It immediately lost its tail and mane, so she sued the pharmaceutical company.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary Bondi Legal was described by Stage Whispers as “a touching and funny play.” See Tony and the cast here: https://youtu.be/rxBanp1VD3Q

Hansel And Gretel

Event Date: 04/10/2019, 07:00 pm

SUSO and Pacific Opera present Humperdinck's opera, Hansel and Gretel.
This October long weekend, young singers from Pacific Opera’s boutique opera training studio will be tackling Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel opera.
The action onstage will be directed by renowned Sydney-based director, Kate Gaul, who is excited for the challenges that the work presents.

"It is with great pleasure that I return to Pacific Opera to direct this bewitching opera,” Gaul said. “The story of Hansel and Gretel is possibly well known and in this operatic version, the audience is transported into a spellbinding, haunted forest full of spirits, including a Dew Fairy, a Sandman, and a spooky witch.”

Led by young up-and-coming conductor, Luke Spicer, the singers will be ably supported by the musicians of the Sydney University Symphony Orchestra, in their opera debut.
Gaul said, “Hansel and Gretel, as with some fairy tales, has a subtext that may have disturbing implications. This opera is based on the rather foreboding fairy tale - originally set in medieval Germany during a famine. This production will not be so dark that it isn’t suitable for children and I hope to see many at this production.”

In the lead roles are two young stars from Pacific Opera.
Rebecca Hart (23, Penshurst) will be playing Hansel. In her second year with Pacific Opera, Hart is French-Australian and is currently a semi-finalist in the prestigious Marianne Mathy Award, part of Australian Singing Competition.
Emily Turner (27, Pyrmont), originally from Cairns, is in her third year at Pacific Opera. Gretel will be her graduation performance from the Young Artist Program.
Performed in the original German, the performances will feature cutting edge surtitling technology on audience phones, a well as the traditional projected surtitles.
FUN FACT - It’s interesting to note that in the entire history of the art form, according to Performances Magazine, Hansel and Gretel is the only opera with a libretto (originally) written by a woman!

In A Nutshell

Event Date: 27/09/2019, 07:30 pm

Lane Cove Theatre Company presents In a Nutshell
Part of the Lane Cove Festival, In a Nutshell highlights the talents of local actors, directors and writers in a short series of quickfire performances.

With comedies, thrillers, romances and more, the ten x 10-minute short play format means there’s something for everyone over the short, sharp season of three fun-packed performances!

Directors Lochie Beh and Rachael Ashley say the theatre showcase is a platform for writers to tell their stories and for actors and directors to strut their stuff, while entertaining new audiences.
Among the plays are pieces which have won international awards (Slow Dating by Adam Szudrich),
major Australian prizes for their performers (Margot’s Bench) or which feature the work of award-winning
writers, directors or actors (Paulene Turner, Wendy Crew, Lynda Leavers).

What they all have in common is their local roots!

Echoes Of The Picture Palace - A Prelude In Tea...

Event Date: 29/09/2019, 02:30 pm

Experience Charlie Chaplin’s Silent Film ‘The Immigrant’ as it Sounded in 1917
In the 1920s America fell in love with the movies; Hollywood’s first stars were born on the silver screens of silent films.
Although silent in name, the films of the 1920s were shown in picture palaces where the images sprang to life through the music performed live.
Award winning artists Nick Russoniello and the Golden Age Quartet reimagine the magic of the picture palace, performing on 1920s instruments.
This concert features a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s The Immigrant with a sparkling new musical score
and the story of early cinema unfolds through a series of works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Rudy Wiedoeft and Charlie Chaplin.

Nick Russoniello has received a number of major awards, including the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year nd the Fine Music Kruger Scholarship. Nick has appeared as a soloist with the Adelaide, Queensland, Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras and as a guest performer
with the Acacia Quartet, Omega Ensemble, Australian Opera Ballet Orchestra and the Australian World Orchestra.
Nick's compositions have been performed around the globe and his performances can be regularly heard on ABC Classic FM and Fine Music 102.5.
Nick is a Yamaha Australia artist. The Golden Age Quartet is known for its highly expressive and dynamic performances of early-twentieth century repertoire.
This concert features Chilean-born Australian pianist Daniel Rojas.
Rojas is an award-winning composer and performer specialising in Latin and tango music and stunning improvisations at the keyboard.
String players Anthea Cottee and Julia Russoniello have together performed with Australia’s most elite period performance ensembles
including Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, Pinchgut Opera and Bach Akademie Australia.

A wonderful afternoon of music, cinema, costumes and colour... plus the Independent's legendary afternoon tea!

Win a double pass to this Melbourne Fringe Show!
After outings at Sydney Mardi Gras and Adelaide Fringe 2019, for one night only drag chanteuse Ms CeCe Rockefeller returns to Melbourne with her signature work of song and storytelling.
Escaping the chill of her tragically romantic youth, our heroine is pulled into the orbit of one Mrs Monivae Jones, who shines her light on a bright and beautiful tomorrow for Little Miss CeCe.
Set in Sydney’s 1960s, this sapphic salon celebrates a queer awakening that makes love, hope, and possibility abundant.
From Dusty Springfield to Alanis Morissette, Ms CeCe's eclectic musical selection is lovingly woven through her uniquely poetical style of story, as she reflects on how it all began...
From the imagination of writer/performer Christopher Fieldus, "Somebody's Somebody" premiered at Melbourne Fringe 2018. This year's remount has been developed with support from Playwriting Australia.
Tickets $22 - $27
