The show’s success at the box office also demonstrated the strong appetite amongst audiences for new Australian work. “…one of the most affecting works of theatre seen so far this year, one that is tender yet hard-edged” Jason Blake, The Sydney Morning Herald Kris McQuade in Neighbourhood Watch Creative Development “We started with a brilliant idea, but unformed and chaotic; residing more in the imagination than on a stage. Two years’ worth of development later we had what was undeniably a great play – delicate in its construction, stirring in its tone, and retaining all playfulness and eccentricity of the original conceit. Almost every moment that ended up on stage in the final version was invented during the development period; it was an indispensable time for Lally, the actors and me.” Simon Stone, director, Neighbourhood Watch Jack Charles in Jack Charles Vs The Crown Creative Development of Indigenous Work When Ralph took over as Artistic Director in Beautiful One Day 2011, he committed to sustaining and building on Belvoir’s history of developing We are particularly excited to be and portraying unique Indigenous stories.

  • Strange Interlude
    Media Release April 2012 Belvoir presents Strange Interlude Written by SIMON STONE after EUGENE O’NEILL Director SIMON STONE Set Designer ROBERT COUSINS Costume Designer MEL PAGE Lighting Designer DAMIEN COOPER Composer & Sound Designer STEFAN GREGORY With AKOS ARMONT NICHOLAS BAKOPOULIS-COOKE EMILY BARCLAY MITCHELL BUTEL CALLUM McMANIS KRIS McQUADE ELOISE MIGNON ANTHONY PHELAN TOBY SCHMITZ TOBY TRUSLOVE BELVOIR ST THEATRE | UPSTAIRS 5 MAY – 17 JUNE An experimental play from the 1920s may not be the most obvious choice for inclusion in Belvoir’s strikingly contemporary season, but in the hands of Simon Stone theatre-goers will know to expect a radical interpretation of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. In the vein of Stone’s The Wild Duck, a sell-out at both Belvoir and Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, Strange Interlude will be completely rewritten. Strange Interlude is one of the few modern plays to use soliloquy interwoven with the dialogue, revealing the characters’ inner thoughts; this technique will be maintained in the rewrite. Twenty-year-old Nina Leeds (Emily Barclay) has lost the love of her life in the war. Overcome with grief, she quits university, falls out with her father and moves away from home. What follows is an epic and compelling narrative that spans 25 years in Nina’s life, but the story is compressed into a series of heightened, life altering moments. The significance of each of these moments is revealed as the page-turning story unravels. The cast assembled for this production is truly stellar, with the luminous Emily Barclay as Nina and Mitchell Butel, Toby Schmitz and Toby Truslove as three men in her life, each vying for her attention and affection in his own way.

    Media Release February 2012 Belvoir presents Every Breath Written & Directed by BENEDICT ANDREWS Set & Costume Designer ALICE BABIDGE Lighting Designer NICK SCHLIEPER Composer OREN AMBARCHI With JOHN HOWARD SHELLY LAUMAN ELOISE MIGNON ANGIE MILLIKEN DYLAN YOUNG BELVOIR ST THEATRE | UPSTAIRS 24 MARCH – 29 APRIL In 2012, critically acclaimed Australian theatre and opera director Benedict Andrews will add another title to his résumé: playwright. 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).

  • Representing the Baby
    Playing with reality: representing the baby Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Christine Ann Hill Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Life and Social Sciences 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis – by artefact and exegesis – draws attention to the role the infant plays in our society. It suggests that the complexity and depth of the emotional life of infants is seriously underestimated, putting at risk their mental health. The artefact and exegesis work together to demonstrate and explain the infant’s proclivity for communication and to emphasize the role of the infant as subject, not object, in relation to others. The artefact is an imaginative representation of the infant’s emotional world from the infant’s perspective. Entitled ‘There is no such thing as a baby’ the artefact is presented in two formats – a written play text and an online interactive performance text. The written piece reflects the traditional form of text-based drama, whereas the performance text acknowledges the growing influence of multimedia in the theatre and, by incorporating image and sound, offers the reader a more theatrical experience. The method of practice-led research and research-led practice enables creative writing to share the stage with academic discourse, providing a unique perspective on the mental health of infants and their parents. Multiple connections are made, as writer leads reader across discipline boundaries – infant mental health, poetry, psychoanalysis, dance, neuroscience, theatre, and performance – in search of authentic relationships. The development of creativity and thinking in the infant, in the theatre, and in the writer is evident in the parallels drawn between the dynamics of baby and mother, theatre and audience, and artefact and exegesis.
