Three sisters reunite after being estranged for 10 years. What could possibly go wrong? ‘Hotel Sorrento’ by Hannie Rayson tells the story of Pippa, Hilary and Meg, and their unresolved family secrets. While Hilary remained in the family home, Pippa is now a successful New York businesswoman, and Meg a writer in the UK – and her new semi-autobiographical novel is attracting unwelcome attention to the family’s private lives, making for a volatile reunion. The sisters’ personal longing for a sense of home in the coastal town of Sorrento also reflects Australia’s wider search for cultural identity in this award-winning modern Australian classic.

Australia. 1942. Fourteen-year-old Danny Fisher is coming of age when his hometown of Brisbane is invaded by the American Armed Forces under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. While events in the Pacific threaten to tear Danny’s family apart, he meets an American pilot, and hatches a dangerous plan. Australian soldiers, dance halls, riots and grief all make an appearance in this authentic Australian story. ‘Brisbane’ is a celebration of a childhood and a city – and a requiem for all that was lost.

Tess & Curtis. Bonnie & Annie. They’ve done life together for 20 years. They know each other's quirks, finish each other's wine, and can navigate a dinner party like a well-rehearsed dance. Their friendship is the anchor – until the night it all unravels with three little words.
Joanna Murray-Smith's wickedly smart comedy peels back the surface of modern relationships to reveal what happens when one person's freedom becomes someone else's crisis. Filled with uncomfortable truths and moments of hilarity, Three Little Words is about friendship, marriage, and the terrifying possibility that the life you've built might not be the life you want.

Step into the theatre – and into uncertainty. Six Characters in Search of an Author begins as an ordinary rehearsal, until six silhouetted figures emerge from the shadows, demanding their story be told. Unfinished, abandoned, and insistent, they carry a truth too unsettling to be contained. Haunting, provocative, and unlike anything else in modern theatre, Pirandello’s masterpiece invites audiences into a world where ideas collide, certainty dissolves, and the stage becomes a space for questions that cannot be ignored.
