Kip Williams Interim Artistic We have a lot to look forward to in 2017. From Director Mary to Muriel, from Beijing to Moscow, there’s a breadth and depth to the season that runs from the epic to the intimate, from the classic to the contemporary. Twentieth-century titans like Chekhov, Churchill and Orwell sit alongside superb new Australian voices like Angus Cerini, Nakkiah Lui and Disapol Savetsila, as well as new work from Jonathan Biggins and a new adaptation from Andrew Upton. I’m excited to see a classic like Michael Gow’s Away from a fresh perspective and it’s a thrill that Muriel’s Wedding, one of our country’s greatest gifts to the world, is finding a new life on stage.

She plans to check on her ailing and mentally unstable mother and then leave. But Tilly decides to remain in order to reconnect with her mother and unravel the mystery of why she was banished and why she feels “cursed”... an obsession with the past that needs to be exorcised. However, though regarded as an outcast and even a “murderess” by the town gossips, Tilly's exquisite fashion dresses prove irresistible to the town's drab womenfolk. But as her dresses begin to arouse competition and envy in town, causing resentments to surface, it becomes clear that Tilly's mind is set on a darker design: exacting revenge on those who wronged her, in the most spectacular fashion!
