Death of a Salesman
Brilliantly acclaimed from its first performance when it won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, the story of salesman Willy Loman and his family has become one of the most genuinely loved and passionately admired plays in the living theatre.

John Stanton, who has conquered so many legendary contemporary and classical roles.” Kate Cherry
The cast includes Austin Castiglione, Adriane Daff, Eden Falk, Luke Hewitt, Talei Howell-Price, Josh McConville, Caroline McKenzie, Jo Morris, Ben O’Toole, Igor Sas and John Stanton.

Beautifully sweet, wickedly funny, and heart-breakingly cruel, Neil LaBute’s award-winning Fat Pig looks at our slavish addiction to ‘ideals’ of beauty and how being a hero is a tough gig.

G By Garry Stewart
Garry Stewart is one of the world’s best known choreographers. He redefined Swan Lake into the wry and action packed Birdbrain, which went on to become Australia’s most performed contemporary dance work. And now he completely reinvents the ballet Giselle with G.
Fusing the technical prowess of classical ballet with explosive choreography, the eleven formidable dancers of Australian Dance Theatre embody the central themes of hysteria, vulnerability, desire, gender, death and the afterlife.
The dancers’ powerful athleticism and deconstructed classicism is accompanied by a thrilling and haunting electronic musical score that drives the work forward at a phenomenal pace, and a hovering panorama of LED screens to reconfigure the original ballet, its story and themes.
Having already toured extensively throughout Europe G returns for an exclusive Australian tour in 2013.

Don Giovanni
Don Giovanni is based on the legendary character of Don Juan, one of opera's most shameless and charming seducers.
From the opening scene, the reckless libertine and his bumbling attendant Leporello crash from one shocking situation to the next. Finally, mocking the statue of the Commendatore in the graveyard seals his fate as Don Giovanni stubbornly refuses to repent for his behavior and his soul is damned.
Combining comic elements of 'opera buffa' and tragic opera, the light-heartedness in the story and music is brief and is swiftly followed by moral outrage and the thirst for revenge.
