  • Port by Simon Stephens

    UltimoTheatre | September 19 - October 4, 2025

    December Theatre Co. launches its debut season with the Australian premiere of Port by Olivier Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens – the first production of the acclaimed drama ever staged on Australian soil.

    Set in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Port follows Rachel Keats across thirteen transformative years of her life, from adolescence to adulthood, as she attempts to find her voice and claim a future in a town that seems intent on swallowing her whole. Equal parts brutal and beautiful, Port is a portrait of working-class Britain that pulses with hope, resilience, and rage.

    Directed by Nigel Turner-Carroll (The Tap Pack, Eirborne) and starring Grace Stamnas (Cock, How I Learned to Drive) and Owen Hasluck (Blue, Songbird), this rarely staged early masterpiece is a stunning showcase of Stephens’ raw emotional poetry and fierce humanity.

    Port was first commissioned by the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, and first performed there on 12th November 2002. It was written whilst the writer was on a Pearson Residency at the Royal Exchange Theatre.

  • Shadow Boxing by James Gaddas

    SydneyTheatre | October 7 - 11, 2025

    Raw, Riveting and Unmissable: Shadow Boxing  is a fierce solo performance exploring masculinity, violence, sexuality, and vulnerability.

    “Raw, intense and instinctive. Samuel Addison is an impressive and captivating Flynn.”
    – Theatre Matters
    “A raw, vivid and exciting piece of theatre… Addison deserves the utmost admiration.”
    – ArtsHub
    “Addison is a phenomenal performer… a compelling performance by an actor at the top of his game.”
    – Fourth Wall Media

    Following acclaimed seasons in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, Shadow Boxing, the award-winning solo work by James Gaddas, returns to Sydney for a strictly limited season at Flight Path Theatre, Marrickville, from 7 - 11 October 2025.

    Directed by Teresa Izzard and performed with powerful precision by Samuel Addison, Shadow Boxing  is a gripping exploration of masculinity, sexuality, and survival.

    Set in the bare-bones world of boxing, the story follows Flynn, a young fighter grappling with his father’s legacy and his own identity, after being cruelly outed. What unfolds is a powerful reckoning with shame, violence, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.

    Told through 15 characters brought vividly to life by one performer in a masterful 55-minute tour de force, Shadow Boxing is as emotionally devastating as it is physically demanding.

    “We can’t be seen to cry, to feel, to love. Be loved.”

    Premiering in Sydney in 1994 and now revived with searing relevance, Shadow Boxing continues to confront outdated notions of masculinity. At its heart, this is a work that interrogates a world where vulnerability is a threat, and self-acceptance is the ultimate fight.

    Teresa Izzard, Director, says:

    “Shadow Boxing  is about more than boxing. It’s about what happens when society boxes people in. It’s about strength, vulnerability, and the quiet violence of rejection. This show will floor you.”

    Winner of a Theatre & Performance Award, Fringe World 2024, Shadow Boxing continues to captivate audiences and now returns to the city where its story first began. Don’t miss this knockout return season at Flight Path Theatre this October.
