  • FAME

    BankstownTheatre | August 18 - 27, 2017

    Set during the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), FAME – THE MUSICAL is a bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of gruelling artistic and academic work. With candour, humour and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today: issues of prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy, sexuality, substance abuse and perseverance.

  • "I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep than Some Other Son of a Bitch" by Rodrigo García

    NewtownTheatre | August 22 - September 2, 2017

    A dissolute father has a master plan to educate his sons: at night, break into the Prado Museum to see Goya’s black paintings while eating chorizo, drinking scotch and sniffing coke. On the side, fly in a hip philosopher from Germany as their guide. Sixty minutes of provocation and screaming to survive. Anything but f…king Disneyland!

    Rodrigo García’s seminal work "I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep than Some Other Son of a Bitch" will introduce local audiences to one of Europe’s premier playwrights and his political, powerful, violent and extremely controversial style.

    This one man show is set to challenge the ideals we hold true with“an explosive mix of vitality and disarray” - Libération, France

    “Rodrigo García’s argument for the soothing power of high art is expressed with crackling energy.” - The Guardian, UK

  • Modern Jesus

    MarrickvilleTheatre | August 23 - September 2, 2017

    Have you ever been stuck in a cycle that felt like one trivial thing or day after another? Ever thought there’s got to be more to life than this? Charlie has. Charlie is the main character in “Modern Jesus,” Fledgling Theatre Co’s latest production to hit Sydney’s independent theatre circuit.

    Charlie works at a local supermarket. She is entirely dissatisfied with her life to date. In a moment of pure frustration she assaults a charity collector who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This moment of liberation leads to Charlie losing her job, but also ignites her desire for change and rebellion. Modern Jesus is a play about the line between idealism and extremism and how easy it is for the two to blur.

    This is Fledgling Theatre Company’s second Australian offering. The company was founded in 2015 by a group of friends and alumni who met studying at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. An international company with bases in both London and Sydney, they aim to create raw and visceral stories that explore all facets of the human condition.

    “Modern Jesus” runs from 23 Aug – 2 Sept at Marickville’s The Depot Theatre. Come witness the revolt!
