Event Details

Presented by Phoenix Ensemble
Musical Theatre Performance

‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood’ is a hilarious, interactive whodunit mystery musical that allows the audience to enter the action and become the ultimate detectives.

Based on Charles Dickens’s unfinished novel of the same name, the story is set in a small town of Cloisterham, England, where the young and charming Edwin Drood has been mysteriously murdered. But by whom? His leering romantic rival, John Jasper? The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer? The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon? Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous? Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit.

Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote. Staged in a metatheatrical manner by the Music Hall Royale, a travelling Victorian theatre troupe full of just as many colourful characters as the roles they play, this charming and inventive musical is sure to intrigue and entertain any musical or mystery lover.

Theatre Performance

Are you guilty of noting that you’ll “talk about this offline”? Have you ever voiced concern that “we shouldn’t overcook this”? If so, your attendance is required at ‘A Very Important Meeting with Big Fork Theatre, where office discussions will be explored, embraced and lampooned.

Find yourself in the midst of an improvised fortnightly Branch Meeting that showcases the mundanity, buzzword usage and absurdity that is modern office life. Allow your new colleagues to be inspired by your own offers and suggestions, but be careful not to end up taking any action items.

Corporate ladder-climbers – take a seat at the front to get some face-time with the boss. Shy interns – feel free to lurk in the back seats. Can everybody see the screen? Those of you who have dialled in, can you hear me? Might need to take yourselves off mute.

Event Details

Presented by Queensland Theatre
Theatre Performance

Lights! Camera! Action! The suitors are lining up to woo movie mogul Baptista’s enchanting film star daughter, Bianca. But there’s a catch: Bianca can’t marry until her elder sister is wed. William Shakespeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew’ comes to Queensland Theatre this May 2021.

Enter Kate — bold, free and fierce, the last thing she wants or needs is a husband. Men conspire to marry this wild woman off to any man who will have her.

Enter Petruchio — Navy captain, in need of a wife. The stage is set for one of the most powerful clashes of wills in history.

With a sprinkle of old-time movie magic, director Damien Ryan rescues this classic love story from the clutches of controversy, by transporting it to a time when Kate is less of a problem and more of a promise of great women to come. This may not be the Shrew you were expecting, but it will be an irresistible night in the theatre filled with glamour, romance, song and laughter. And a plane.

Theatre Performance

Lovers on the highway, chased down by their past.

Cole and Sky, a young couple, are driving in a classic Aussie car from the coast into the guts of the country. Cole’s father is ill and Sky is due a holiday after climbing the corporate ladder.

They set out with unbridled enthusiasm for the road ahead; swept up in romantic dreaming and poetic ruminations amid the boundless plains. They knit new narratives for themselves; give themselves new names and identities in sync with their seemingly unanimous versions of utopia. Their newfound freedom is underscored by a long-forgotten mix tape buried deep in the glovebox, but out of the static following the final song comes a blast from the past.

Equal parts ‘Mad Max’, ‘Evil Angels’ and ‘ Wolf Creek’, ‘Horizon’ keeps who we are in the rear-view mirror, whilst asking what it is we can see in the heat-distorted bitumen ahead?

Event Details

Presented by Vena Cava Productions
Theatre Performance

Vena Cava Productions is bringing their first Mainhouse production to the Queensland Multicultural Centre. ‘Good Grief’ by Merlynn Tong collects myths from across time and space and weaves them together with the common threads of grief and love. The scenes bounce between reimagined tales inspired by everything from Ancient China to the moon landing. One minute we’re dodging swooping magpies, the next we’re with two sisters at a ghost wedding. This play is a library of moments that celebrates facing the impossible with hope.

Ancient myths and legends from around the globe are reimagined into modern-day moments in this series of intriguing vignettes. ‘Good Grief’ peers into the windows of disparate lives in flux and transformation. We are left wondering if we, as human beings, are ultimately connected; if we all share the same fundamental need to love, and experience the same landscapes of lost and longing, hope and hunger for life.

‘Good Grief’ was first produced by QLD Theatre in 2018 and published by Playlab.

In Singapore, it’s just another day at the office of Clearday cosmetics. That is until they discover that their new TV commercial has been leaked online. The video goes viral for all the wrong reasons. Someone is definitely going to get fired. Can the high-flying team at Clearday rise above their personal squabbles to save the company?

As they scramble to contain the fallout before the American market wakes up, the open-plan, glass-door office proves to be a nest of secrets, lies and resentments.

Anchuli Felicia King’s new play, ‘White Pearl’, is a ruthlessly entertaining portrait of toxic corporate culture, casual racism and the complexity of pan- Asian relations.
