Undertaking

Event Date: 07/09/2017, 07:30 pm

People are disappearing. Someone you trust is under suspicion. Will you look away?
This is not theatre where you ‘sit down and shut up’: this is interactive theatre that you can control!

The world premiere of this unique multi-sensory thriller is set over 20 rooms of the Sydney Fringe HPG Festival Hub.
It allows its audience to move freely through simultaneous scenes to follow the thread of the story they choose.
Audience members decide the outcome… and take responsibility for their choices! UNDERTAKING is an experience not to be missed.

Directed, co-written and produced by Duncan Maurice with Sharon Zeeman, UNDERTAKING stars
Benjamin Wang, Jasper Garner Gore, Moreblessing Maturure, Rizcel Gagawanan and Sharon Zeeman.
With original music and lyrics by musical director David Herrero and set design by Gemma O’nions.

See why this exciting theatre company's shows are selling out and the critics are raving about their unique form of theatre.
This is ‘choose your own adventure’ on a whole new level!
But be warned: Undertaking may be disorienting and is suitable for adults only:
it contains nudity, violence, graphic imagery and low level/strobe lighting.

What I'll Never Say

Event Date: 06/09/2017, 07:00 pm

Australian politics goes under the looking glass at Sydney Fringe Festival
Australian politics goes under the looking glass at Sydney Fringe Festival from 6 to 9 September in new play What I’ll Never Say written and performed by senior lobbyist at one of the largest multi-national pharmaceutical companies in the world.

Stuart Graham has spent the last 10 years consulting with almost every member of senior Parliament, first as a commercial lawyer, then a political staffer in the early days of the Carr Labor Government in NSW, and now as a Canberra lobbyist.

“What I’ll Never Say is based on working daily with the very people that are trying to make politics function,” says Englund.

“Our politics is deep in a rough patch and it can be incredibly frustrating, but it isn’t broken. Almost all of our politicians are women and men with the best of intentions. They aren’t devils and they aren’t saints, they’re just human. When we’re under pressure it isn’t the time to give up on politics; if we want something different, it’s time to get involved,” said Englund.

What I’ll Never Say brings politics to the stage, wrestling with the dreams we have, the choices we make and all that follows: the struggles of pre-selection, the larger world of the election, Parliament, life as a junior minister, the victories and crushing betrayals that follow, and, at the heart of it all, the idea of why we started on the path of politics in the first place.

Dates: 6 - 9 September 2017, 7pm

The Klezmatics, David Krakauer With Ancestral...

Event Date: 31/08/2017, 07:00 pm

This extraordinary double act is a one-of-a-kind occasion, not to be missed!
The Klezmatics erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 and revitalized klezmer for the new century.
The sometimes frenzied, sometimes reflective - always danceable - music is steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality.
In The Klezmatics’ hands, it incorporates contemporary themes while blending the eclectic musical influences of
Arab, African, Latin and Balkan rhythms, jazz and punk.

They have collaborated with numerous musical luminaries including folk hero Arlo Guthrie, classical legend Itzhak Perlman, Israeli pop icons Chava Albertstein and Ehud Banay, beat poet Allen Ginsberg, The Master Musicians of Jajouka, the Ben Folds Five and ‘kosher gospel’ singer Joshua Nelson.
They’ve produced nine albums of provocative and ecstatic music, forever redefining and transcending traditional labels.

For over two decades, internationally celebrated clarinetist David Krakauer has been reinventing and remixing the Jewish music of his ancestry with the sensibility of a contemporary musician strongly informed by funk, jazz and hip-hop.

Starting with The Klezmatics, then recording on John Zorn’s Radical Jewish Culture imprint, Krakauer has forged an incomparable musical path that’s included landmark collaborations with funk legend Fred Wesley,
the Kronos Quartet, beat-wizard So called, leading symphony orchestras, rappers, celebrated composers and musicians of all kinds.
Krakauer’s band Ancestral Groove represents the next step in this unique musical evolution.

MATT STEWART “PRETTY DRY” + NICK CAPPER “CHROME DOGGIE”
RAW Comedy winner Matt Stewart’s debut solo show Pretty Dry, and NSW comedian Nick Capper’s weird and wonderful Chrome Doggie will hit Sydney’s Giant Dwarf Saturday 26 August.

Stewart’s Pretty Dry enjoyed a fantastic sold-out run at this year’s MICF, with a show described as “the culmination of a 7-year journey writing, directing, and performing comedy. …Stewart's got disgustingly good timing and a mighty, warm on-stage presence. One of those rare shows that'll suck you in from the opening line and spit you back out 50 minutes later utterly breathless.”

Nick Capper’s show Chrome Doggie took audiences on an altogether different ride. The comedian’s comedian, Capper has earned praise from comedy heavy weights including Mark from Aunty Donna "Nick Capper is the most gut-funny, daringly dark and hysterically absurd comic on the scene right now. He'll make you laugh in ways you didn't even think were possible."

Anne Edmonds says: "Nick Capper is the real deal. He has funny bones and a wild imagination that spins amazing stories. He has something unique and I always sit up and take notice when he's performing. Get on board now!"

So. Get on board for this once-off-event and book your tickets now!

Bespoken Word

Event Date: 24/08/2017, 07:30 pm

Bespoken Word is a monthly fresh new night of wonderful live storytelling & comedy.
The idea in creating Bespoken Word is give audiences an engaging, funny and at times poignant evening of great stories well told. The show is divided into two halves - the haves and have nots. Those who have prepared - and those who have not. The first bracket features crafted and practiced stories. Guests who take the stage in the second bracket have not even been given the topic yet, let alone time to prepare.

The first half, hosted by Kate Iselin will feature invited writers and people from the public performing their best stories linked by a theme for the night such as ‘Betrayal/Betrothal’ or ‘Wrong Place Wrong Time'. Each participant has about 5 minutes of stage time to take us on a vivid storytelling journey. The audience chooses the story that most moved them and the winner receives a magnificent very inexpensive prize and a bottle of wine.

After intermission, John Knowles hosts a live episode of ‘I Can Top That!, John’s storytelling gameshow as heard on ABC 702’s Afternoons with James Valentine. Its competitive true-story-telling-one-upmanship. Three professional comedians are challenged to tell their funniest true recollections based on a random audience suggestion. As one performer finishes their story, another shouts, “I CAN TOP THAT!” and tried to do just that with their own even better story. Its like The Moth meets Family Feud. It’s like Hamish and Andy’s True Stories but experienced live onstage without interruptions, editing or a net. The audience decides which guests wins the round, and then suggests a new topic. The key to this brand of comedy is that these stories are all true. Some will be shocking, others embarrassing, insightful, sweet or just plain hilarious. Its a smorgasbord of real life adventures
and raw revelations with an emphasis on vulnerability, confession and laughter.

Modern Jesus

Event Date: 24/08/2017, 08:00 pm

Conquer the mundane on a night out at the theatre - literally.
Charlie works at a local supermarket. She is entirely dissatisfied with her life to date. In a moment of pure frustration she assaults a charity collector who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This moment of liberation leads to Charlie losing her job, but also ignites her desire for change and rebellion. Modern Jesus is a play about the line between idealism and extremism and how easy it is for the two to blur.

23 Aug - 2 Sept 2017

The Depot Theatre, 142 Addison Rd, Marrickville
