New Constellations

Event Date: 18/08/2019, 03:00 pm

Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra
Berlin-based violinist Jakob Lehmann returns to Australia in August to direct the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra on the national tour of its final concert series for 2019.
This outstanding international artist leads an ensemble of specialist local and international chamber musicians through the expansive sounds and pioneering ideas of New Constellations featuring sweeping works by Mendelssohn and Brahms.

The Octet for Strings was written when Mendelssohn was just 16, and is an illustration of how the performance techniques in early-Romantic chamber music were radically transformed.
Brahms destroyed the nonet version of his Serenade, but based on archives and written accounts,
the original chamber version has been brought back to life.

Managing Carmen

Event Date: 16/08/2019, 07:30 pm

Presented by Lane Cove Theatre Company
Brent Lyall is at the top of his game and should be on top of the world: captain of the most powerful football club in Australia, he has two medals and a beautiful girlfriend on his arm; but something is holding him back from being the charismatic hero everyone expects.
Off the field, Brent hides a secret obsession ... a penchant for designer dresses and a preference for stilettos.
Brent's alter ego 'Carmen' is about to go public.
With millions at stake from endorsement deals, Brent's ruthless manager will do anything to keep his private fetish under wraps.

Following the sell-out successes of Bare and The Female of the Species, Lane Cove Theatre Company continues its hit 2019 season by bringing our greatest playwright’s hilarious satire on sport, sex and ‘the Australian way’ back to the Sydney stage.
From 16-31 August at The Performance Space @ St Aidan’s in Longueville, Isaac Downey directs
Cam Ralph, Angelica Madani, Stephen Dula, Kelsey Hunter and Alex Morgan in the award-winning play that has a whole new - more poignant - significance in this era of marriage equality, gender fluidity and transition.

Isaac says Managing Carmen is a play that leaps off the page with humour and fun, its characters farcical, vain, wise, greedy and devious.

“We’ve had a ball rehearsing it (excuse the pun!). But to say it’s only a comedy would be to diminish its intentions. This play delves into issues of femininity in a predominantly masculine world and the ignorance of its characters.
It highlights the social climate around sport and how we deal with the unknown. Expression of oneself is met with distain, ridicule and obstruction. Brett is the game’s darling but what if everyone’s idol was not whom they wanted him to be?”

Still Life With Chickens

Event Date: 07/08/2019, 07:45 pm

Australian premiere @ Riverside Theatre Parramatta
Win a double pass to the show.
Riverside Theatres presents an Auckland Theatre Company production STILL LIFE WITH CHICKENS BY D.F MAMEA.
Some friendships are just clucking surprising! As part of Riverside Theatre’s ongoing commitment to presenting work from New Zealand, Auckland Theatre Company’s multi-award-winning production, Still Life with Chickens by D.F Mamea, makes its Australian premiere this August.

When Mama discovers a mischievous chicken invading her beloved veggie garden her first instinct is to shoo the interloper from her silverbeet, but what starts out as a backyard turf war develops into an unlikely friendship. Mama comes to realise there is a lot more to life than just waiting for it to end.

Award-winning playwright D.F. Mamea’s slice-of-life story paints a vivid portrait of the local neighbourhood, its colourful characters, and Mama’s dreams for herself and her family.

Goretti Chadwick delivers a tour de force solo performance in the role of Mama which has garnered rave reviews and numerous awards, and a spell-binding chicken is brought masterfully to life by puppeteer and vocal performer Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson. Still Life with Chickens is a heart-warming and funny tale of family, community, loss, love and the things that make life worth living.

Writer D.F. Mamea Director Fasitua Amosa Cast Goretti Chadwick and Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson.

When: 7.45pm on 7th to 10th August and 2.15pm on 10th August 2019
