  • Minnie & Liraz
    MINNIE & LIRAZ by Lally Katz Welcome At the beginning of every play’s rehearsal period we feel a great sense of excitement, but never more so than when it’s a world premiere of a new Australian work. In the case of Minnie & Liraz, it’s both a new Australian play and a truly Melbourne story, and I am thrilled that it’s Melbourne’s audiences who get to see its first presentation in the world. Minnie & Liraz has humour, honesty, warmth and imagination in spades, taking its audience on a wild and unpredictable ride. So strap yourselves in for some delicious twists and turns! Written by the inimitable Lally Katz and directed by Anne-Louise Sarks, this production brings together a wonderful team of actors and creative artists along with a little slice of Caulfield to MTC’s home in the Arts Centre – the Fairfax Studio. Throughout May, MTC’s stages are filled with three brand new Australian plays – Three Little Words, Melbourne Talam and Minnie & Liraz. They are three very different stories, but each a wonderful example of the work of the unique and talented writers we have in this country. MTC has a long history of working with and supporting local writers and our commitment remains as steadfast as ever. It fills me with immense pride that Melbourne audiences continue to echo this support by being such great advocates for new works, so thank you and I hope you enjoy this world premiere production. See you at the theatre! Brett Sheehy ao Artistic Director GET SOCIAL WITH MTC MelbourneTheatreCompany melbtheatreco melbtheatreco MTC.COM.AU 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 past and present, and to our shared future.

  • Night Terrace Season One to Be Released October 23
    NIGHT TERRACE SEASON ONE TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 23 Creators of ABC1's Outland, ABC2's The Bazura Project and the Splendid Chaps podcast launch a new audio science fiction series starring Jackie Woodburne (Neighbours' Susan Kennedy) and guest starring Chris Taylor (The Chaser), Francis Greenslade (Mad As Hell), Alan Brough (Spicks & Specks, Kath & Kim), Cal Wilson (Slideshow), Virginia Gay (Winners & Losers), Jane Badler (V, Mission: Impossible). Jackie Woodburne has had many adventures on Australian television in the last 30 years. As Julie "Chook" Egbert in Prisoner she was held hostage by terrorists, terrorised by the Freak as part of a blackmail scheme, and caught up in a prison riot. As Susan Kennedy, her Neighbours character of 20 years, she's been enmeshed in a love triangle with Dr Karl and Izzy, had retrograde amnesia and recently gave Lou an emergency tracheotomy with a ballpoint pen during a tornado. But she's never travelled into space to fight monsters and foil alien invasions. Until now. Jackie stars in the new eight-part audio comedy series Night Terrace, created and written by John Richards (co-creator/writer of ABC1's Outland), Lee Zachariah (half of the ABC's The Bazura Project and Chaser writer) and the team behind the Doctor Who podcast Splendid Chaps. Jackie plays Anastasia Black, a scientist who used to save the world as part of a secret government organisation but now just wants a quiet retirement in the suburbs. She's understandably miffed when her house unexpectedly starts travelling through space and time. She'll travel from the ancient past to the distant future, from pre-historic Melbourne to the edges of human understanding, all the while trying to find a way home.

  • By Eddie Perfect Welcome
    vivid white By Eddie Perfect Welcome Vivid White is a production that brings with it palpable excitement. For us at MTC, it’s a work that pushes us creatively and technically, and for audiences it promises an experience unlike anything you’ve seen on our stages this year. In 2013 we presented Eddie Perfect’s first play, The Beast, which blew Melbourne away with its bold comedy and on-the-pulse commentary of middle class aspirations. This new MTC commission, supported by the Clemenger Trust and directed by our Associate Director Dean Bryant, pushes conventions a little further with the welcome addition of satirical songs and an entirely unique take on the real estate market in Australia. The chorus you’ll see throughout the show is comprised of second year Music Theatre students from the Victorian College of the Arts, who join the production thanks to a new partnership established especially for this show. We’re passionate about supporting students in their pursuit of careers in creative industries and are delighted to be providing them with this opportunity. Not only do the students gain experience in a professional setting but, better still, their involvement is part of their coursework and end-of-year assessment. This show is full to the brim with Eddie’s signature comedy and graced with a cast and creative team so talented they’re in a league of their own. I can’t think of a better way to see out Season 2017. Thank you for joining us for another wonderful year at MTC and tirelessly supporting our work and our artists.
