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. Anthea Williams directs Helen Thomson and Greg Stone in Hir, a play that turns the notion of the American family drama entirely on its head. Mr Burns examines how societies create myths in way that is thoroughly inventive way that is wildly entertaining. We are thrilled to present brand new works from Lally Katz (Atlantis), Tommy Murphy (Mark Colvin’s Kidney) and Alana Valentine with Ursula Yovich (Barbara and the Camp Dogs). All three bold plays with intriguing and compelling women as their lead characters. Audiences will delight in the opportunity to see two of our biggest recent hits back on stage: Jasper Jones and The Dog / The Cat in short Upstairs seasons. And we’re bringing the hit of Brisbane Festival 2015, La Boite Theatre Company’s Prize Fighter to Sydney audiences for the first time. Latenight comedy returns to Belvoir with Tom Ballard’s takedown of Australia’s asylum seeker policies, Boundless Plains to Share. Downstairs we have two shows from New Zealand, Indian Ink Theatre Company’s virtuosic show Guru of Chai, and Trick of the Light’s enchanting family show The Bookbinder. Also Downstairs is ILBIJERRI Theatre Company’s production of Katie Beckett’s playwriting debut Which Way Home.

    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.

Fidel In the world that depends on technology, it is hard to miss breaking news on an 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake that kills 19 people or the news about a massacre of five people in the middle of Europe. Surprisingly enough, if I asked you about one of the greatest mass killings in the world after WWII, I wouldn’t be surprised if you said the war in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan. The death toll in these three countries combined is recorded to be approximately 371,000 people since 2001according to Watson Institute – Cost of War. This is not close to half the great genocide of Rwanda that claimed almost a million lives. The Democratic Republic of Congo is well known for its richness in natural resources and minerals such as gold, diamond, coltan, petroleum to name a few.

    JANET KING - Season

    THE AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SCREEN NSW PRESENTS A SCREENTIME, A BANIJAY GROUP COMPANY, PRODUCTION AACTA award winner Marta Dusseldorp reprises her lead role as the brilliant Senior Crown Prosecutor Janet King. Synopsis With gun crime exploding in the suburbs, Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp) is handpicked by a nervous government to head a Royal Commission into the surge of recent shootings. Unlike the world of the DPP, the Royal Commission allows Janet and her team to become the investigators – they can raid, interrogate and have police seconded to them. Conscripting solicitors Lina Badir (Andrea Demetriades), Richard Stirling (Hamish Michael), as well as the ambitious Owen Mitchell (Damian Walshe-Howling) as Counsel Assisting, with Detective Inspector Andy Campbell (Christopher Morris) as Police Liaison, Janet and her team peel back the complex layers of intrigue underpinning the illicit trade in weapons. As Janet exercises her powers and begins uncovering the truth, criminal and political forces begin to stir, bent on shutting down the Royal Commission, even if it means destroying Janet in the process. A shocking reveal brings Janet’s world crashing in on her as she faces legal proceedings of a deeply personal nature.
