Dale Ferguson’s 14 JANUARY – 25 FEBRUARY lavish set and costume designs, lit with finesse by Matt Scott, coupled with Mathew Frank’s electric composition and a sensational cast, make this production a thrilling night at the Southbank Theatre theatre, and an interesting coda to America’s brutal presidential election last year. The Sumner And to continue into 2017 we have an outstanding program of theatre lined up. In our Southbank Theatre and Arts Centre Melbourne venues there’s John from Pulitzer-Prize Cast Production winner Annie Baker; Shakespeare’s ultimate tragedy Macbeth, directed by MTC veteran Mrs Hedges / Helen / Manicurist Heidi Arena Director Dean Bryant Simon Phillips; a comedy which many consider to be the funniest play ever written, Noises Ed Devery Tyler Coppin Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Off; and a range of premieres from some of Australia’s most exciting playwrights including Harry Brock Russell Dykstra Lighting Designer Matt Scott Lally Katz, Joanna Murray-Smith and Eddie Perfect.
