  • A Doll's House, Part 2
    A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2 BY LUCAS HNATH Welcome A Doll’s House, Part 2 was one of the most talked about shows on Broadway last year, and for good reason. Lucas Hnath has taken Henrik Ibsen’s classic and told the story of what happened next. An audacious act by Hanth, for sure, but one executed with such skill that it honours the original beautifully while giving new life to the infamous characters. The result is a creation with a unique voice, infused with humour and a masterful blend of the traditional and the modern. We couldn’t be happier that Melbourne gets to see it in its first international production. 11 AUGUST—15 SEPTEMBER, 2018 Directed by 2018 Helpmann Award-winner and MTC Associate Director Sarah Goodes, Southbank Theatre, The Sumner A Doll’s House, Part 2 stars Marta Dusseldorp, 20 years after last performing with the Company, alongside Zoe Terakes, making her MTC debut, and Company favourites Deidre Rubenstein and Greg Stone. This stellar line-up, along with the brilliant design team, have brought the show to life impeccably. We’re busily gearing up for our 2019 Season Launch on Tuesday 4 September when all the exciting details of the productions and artists joining MTC next year will be revealed. We can’t wait to share it all with you and look forward to another fantastic year of theatre. Brett Sheehy ao Virginia Lovett Artistic Director & CEO Executive Director & Co-CEO Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Yalukit Willam Peoples of the Boon Wurrung, the Traditional Owners of the land on which Southbank Theatre and MTC HQ stand, and we pay our respects to Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future.

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).

  • Embargoed to 7Pm 3 Sept
    MEDIA RELEASE August 2016 EMBARGOED TO 7PM 3 SEPT. Belvoir’s Artistic Director Eamon Flack has unveiled an optimistic and wildly entertaining season of plays for the company’s 2017 Season. There are inventive new plays from Australia and around the world, there are return seasons and tours of popular plays and two of our favourite stage actors in two great classics. Toby Schmitz returns to the Belvoir stage, after a three year absence, in The Rover by Aphra Behn. Schmitz takes the swashbuckling titular role in this raucous and outrageous battle of the sexes from the woman widely considered the first professional female playwright. Flack has reunited his award-winning team from his 2014 sell out hit The Glass Menagerie to find the same freshness and beauty in Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts. Pamela Rabe stars as the fierce mother Helene Alving. ‘Our 2016 Season has been very much about reflecting on our past, both for Belvoir and in a wider cultural sense,’ says Flack. ‘With the 2017 Season we are taking an imaginative leap into the future. In this season, characters dream big in the midst of disaster and confusion. They fight passionately for a brighter future. This is a season of plays that unleashes the possibility that maybe the 21st century won’t be an unmitigated disaster.’ Two of the most inventive and exciting plays out of New York’s Playwrights Horizons in recent years are Hir by Taylor Mac and Anne Washburn’s Mr Burns, a Post-Electric Play, and they are both in our 2017 Season.
