Morning Sacrifice

Event Date: 17/10/2019, 07:30 pm

Win a double pass to Morning Sacrifice at The Star of the Sea Theatre, Manly
Lovelessness is a bitter pill to swallow

It's 1938, in the staffroom of Easthaven Girls' High School where nine women teachers negotiate a school day.
The system is claustrophobic to some, the standard to others. Underscoring it all is unhappiness.
For the loveless, the bitterness spews forth as jealousy, gossip and derision into classroom and staffroom alike.
The lovers are thwarted by the system. If you marry, you must resign, so the law would have it.

Morning Sacrifice is Dymphna Cusak's response to her years of dissatisfaction with teaching in the system of her time.
Directed by Rough Hewn Theatre Troupe’s inspirational company founder Geoff Cartwright - in this, its final production -
Morning Sacrifice stars Maxine Appel-Cohen, Maddie Boyle,
Evie McCutcheon, Sarah Metcalfe, Sarah Purdue,
Taylor Owynns, Jen Davidson, Meg Shooter & Olga Tamara.

At times hilariously funny but ultimately heartbreaking in its evocation of stymied love,
Morning Sacrifice plays Thurs-Sat October 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 in The Star of the Sea Theatre, at the corner of Iluka Ave and Collingwood St, Manly.

Wit

Event Date: 16/10/2019, 07:30 pm

Win a double pass to the Sydney Award-winning play fathoms what matters at end of life…
Clock & Spiel Productions present Wit – by Margaret Edson: Seymour Centre 16-26 October
“Nothing but a breath - a comma - separates life from life everlasting. It is very simple really.”

Meet Vivian Bearing: she's 50, in the prime of her life, highly respected and at the height of a stellar academic career. She's a fiercely rational academic with a passion for poetry. And she's found out she has just weeks to live. Wherever we might be on our own road, Vivian asks us: 'What truly matters when the end of that road comes into view?'
Wit isn't a play about death, it's a play about life. All of life, and everything that makes us who we are.
As Vivian comes to terms with who she is; mind, body and soul, we're left to ponder - can we conquer death, or at least our fear of it, by the way we live our lives?

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Wit is not primarily a play about cancer, nor about the wit of John Donne – it is a play about the balance between head and heart; a play about life, death and the significance of a semicolon.

This is the fourth production from Clock and Spiel Productions, (after critical and popular hits Freud’s Last Session,
Metamorphosis and The Screwtape Letters) and follows their vision of bringing distinctive, culturally daring and deeply human works to the stage.

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!
