Andrews is making a highly anticipated return to Belvoir to direct his own play, Every Breath, for its world premiere. Andrews has created dozens of thrilling productions in an internationally successful career. He has been the recipient of numerous Best Director awards, both in Sydney and Europe. As well as Every Breath, Andrews‟ The Marriage of Figaro for Opera Australia is now playing at the Sydney Opera House, Gross und Klein (Sydney Theatre Company) is set to tour Europe, and his production of Caligula opens in May at the English National Opera. Despite such an international focus, Andrews relishes the opportunity to return to Belvoir. „I always enjoy returning to Belvoir,‟ he says. „I love the theatre‟s special intimacy… I‟m very pleased that Every Breath will come into the world there…‟ Every Breath features a stellar cast. Popular screen actor John Howard returns to the Sydney stage for the first time in over a decade, alongside Angie Milliken, who also returns to the Sydney theatre scene for the first time in nearly as long. Shelly Lauman (As You Like It) treads the Belvoir boards once again and is joined by Eloise Mignon (The Wild Duck) and Dylan Young (The Seagull).

  • Written and Composed by Jason Robert Brown
    WRITTEN AND COMPOSED BY JASON ROBERT BROWN 29 MAR – 27 APR 2019 WELCOME A year or so ago on one of our many opening nights Elise McCann came bounding over to ask a question, "have we ever thought of doing the wonderful musical THE LAST FIVE YEARS?" As I had just seen her be utterly brilliant as Miss Honey in MATILDA, I was a little star struck and stammered something like, "yes it has been on our list for a while now"... which of course prompted me to reread and figure out when and at what time we could make it work. With a promise of including Elise if we go forward, we set about making it work. Jason Robert Brown’s extraordinary lyrics need extraordinary talent and the team we have assembled are just that: Elise McCann and Christian Charisiou as the couple who tell their stories from opposite ends of the tale, director Elsie Edgerton-Till, musical director Daryl Wallis and the top creatives working today, means we have the best of the best for this poignant and life affirming musical. Mark Kilmurry Artistic Director SYNOPSIS New York. Cathy is an actor. Jamie is a writer. They fall in love and dive head first into a relationship. As Jamie’s career takes off and Cathy’s falters, the young couple struggles to balance their personal ambitions with their marriage. Set over the five year duration of their relationship, the story is told in two contrasting perspectives. Jamie starts from the beginning, moving chronologically forward to their marriage’s ultimate demise.

Inside the glamorous court of Denmark in the 1960s, a family is torn apart by murder and betrayal. Outside, a country is threatened by Norway. And at the centre of this struggle is a young man brimming with anguish. Featuring Harriet Gordon-Anderson as Hamlet and the multi award-winning star of stage and screen Lisa McCune as Hamlet’s mother Gertrude, this is a portrait of a young man struggling with the death of his father, his mother’s hasty remarriage to his uncle, and the vision of his father’s ghost looming in his mind’s eye. Gordon-Anderson was last on the Bell Shakespeare stage in The Miser in 2019. This will be McCune’s first production with the Company. Joining them on stage will be Jeremi Campese, Tony Cogin, Jack Crumlin, James Evans, James Lugton, Jane Mahady, Robert Menzies, Sophie Wilde and Aanisa Vylet. Peter Evans said, “We decided to do Hamlet in 2020 because it’s Bell Shakespeare’s 30th anniversary. It was the first work Bell Shakespeare ever staged, and what better time to revisit what is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous play? “Hamlet is an astonishing work of art.
