8 9 3 JANUARY – 8 FEBRUARY UPSTAIRS By Louis Nowra Lighting Designer Indigenous Theatre at Director Damien Cooper Belvoir supported by Set & Costume Designer With Leah Purcell The Balnaves Foundation Dale Ferguson

Radiance

Louis Nowra’s Radiance is an exuberant black sabbath for three great Indigenous dames. It begins conventionally enough: Mae, Nona and Cressy gather at the old Queenslander in the tropics for Mum’s funeral. But these three sisters are forces of nature, and they haven’t been in the same room for years, and years. It isn’t long before that old house can’t contain the joy and pain of them all being together again… Radiance began its life at Belvoir in 1993. After 22 years, Nowra’s feat of playwriting – almost Shakespearean, a Tempest-like packet of lust, rage, grief and high-flying foolery – is ready to be unleashed again. Leah Purcell is the woman for the job. Purcell is a powerhouse. She burst onto the national stage nearly two decades ago and is as full of fight and life as she ever was. What better idea than for this all-round theatre elder to direct herself in this mighty little classic? Leah Purcell 11 14 FEBRUARY – 8 MARCH UPSTAIRS By Set Designer Indigenous Theatre at Director Anthea Williams Ralph Myers Belvoir supported by With Nakkiah Lui The Balnaves Foundation

Elektra /Orestes

The story of the House of Atreus Anne-Louise Sarks (Nora, Medea) is one of the greatest cycles ever has forged a remarkable series conceived by humankind – a of shows by combining the full diabolical sequence of brilliant force of old tales with the uncanny dramatic premises. At its heart familiarity of modern life.

The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz is a parable of biblical proportions. L. Frank Baum’s original novel invented a new kind of story: in the aftermath of a natural disaster, a young girl finds herself alone in a foreign land seeking answers from an all-powerful but unseen wizard – who turns out to be a man behind a curtain. This tale of power and discovery in a land of marvellous beauty has become as foundational in the contemporary imagination as Shakespeare or the Greeks. Adena Jacobs’ stark and sublime re-imagining is a theatrical poem about innocence, grief and the terror of growing up. Leave the kids at home for this radical feminist take on one of our most beloved myths. This is Oz as we’ve never seen it before… Emily Milledge Rarriwuy Hick17 6 JUNE – 26 JULY UPSTAIRS By Bertolt Brecht Set Designer Sound Designer Director Eamon Flack Robert Cousins Stefan Gregory Lighting Designer With Benjamin Cisterne

Seventeen

You’re in for a treat. Matthew Whittet is the true original mind of Australian theatre – actor, writer, muse, inventor of marvels, scribe of human beauty and lover of oddity. Seventeen is the play he’s been getting ready to write for a long time. It’s about the cusp of adulthood, and it has been specially, like really specially, written for a rollcall of the country’s great senior actors. To be precise: Peter Carroll, Maggie Dence, Judi Farr, John Gaden, Barry Otto. The lot of them. These venerables play a group of teenagers (!) drinking, singing, dancing, gabbling, worrying and maybe even pashing (!!) their way through their last night of childhood and their first night of adulthood. Funny, immature, wise and a little bit but quite beautifully sad, Seventeen is about the size of life.

Blue Wizard

The Future, Earth: An intergalactic gay wizard gets stranded on the side of a mountain where he casts spells and dances magic dances in an attempt to return to his home comet, OK? Nick Coyle is a comic genius. His aim, in his own words, is to make the gayest one-man show ever. Blue Wizard unites cheap spectacle, super camp theatre magic, song, puppetry, storytelling and highly original costume design – to tell the story of a gay alien who has to learn to live like an ordinary human being… Blue Wizard is a brilliant act of subversion dressed up to look like a queer bimbo in an electric blue wig. The result is hilarious, but it is also an oddly moving reflection on the growing sense that time is running out for the world as we know it, and if we don’t get our act together soon, well… let’s just say there’ll be no more jizz and diamonds, and what will we ever do then? Nick Coyle 29 7 MAY – 31 MAY DOWNSTAIRS By Julia-Rose Lewis With Ashleigh Cummings Director Kristine Landon-Smith A co-production with La Boite Theatre Company

Samson

This is Julia-Rose Lewis’ first play Samson fizzes with truth; it is brutal and she has made something yet gentle, funny yet sad, young wondrous. On the one hand, yet old. At its heart is the startling Samson is an Australian idea that the death of someone coming-of-age story set in a important can be the start of country town.

Essie, Beth, Sid and Rabbit are growing up at the arse end of the arse end of the world. Boredom, decay and violence plague their lives. And grief, for the death of a friend. Grappling with their own existence and grasping hopelessly at the future, they find themselves imagining heaven and dreaming of hell.

The Dog / The Cat

It is the question on everybody’s The Cat lips: Where are all the romantic Katz on cats: Owning a cat is comedies?! Tragedy? Bah! not easy. Co-owning a cat with Pathos? Schmathos!

There is no-one else who does charming, funny and unlikely quite The Dog like Katz. It could be called Two Men, One Woman, a Park and a Dog – and everyone knows that nothing breaks the ice like a cute dog. Brendan Cowell’s funny new play paints a not-so-flattering portrait of the tricky line between mateship and romance, and of the insatiable appetite of Jack Russell terriers for the most disgusting things they can find.
