Love SongsWelcome to an intimate evening with the high priestess of Australian pop, Kate Ceberano and musical partner, ARIA and Helpmann Award-winning Paul Grabowsky. In this very personal journey by two of Australia’s most respected musicians we see reinterpretations of some of the great love songs of the past 50 years. Songs selected because of their ability to connect on a deep emotional level and more importantly, because they have influenced both artists at some point in their lives. The effect on audiences is palpable as they present renditions of love songs such as Imagine, Lilac Wine and Songbird. Love Songs also features Grabowsky originals along with hits and memories reinterpreted from the Ceberano songbook.


Educating RitaRita is a straight-talking hairdresser searching for a better life; Frank is an English professor looking for a way to support his drinking habit. When Rita enters his musty office wanting to know ‘everything’, she breathes new life into Frank and the literature he thinks he knows so well. This is the tale of two very different worlds colliding and producing a wonderfully entertaining modern-day Pygmalion. This beloved story of lives half-lived, the potential to awaken another’s soul and the power of choice has been entertaining audiences for over 30 years. See it sparkle in a whole new light.

Boy out of the CountryThere’s more to land than real-estate. There’s more to family than DNA! Jane Clifton leads a stellar cast in a play about family, loyalty and property prices in regional Australia. This is an Australian story that is both timeless and as imme-diate as the stories we read in our daily papers: stories about family disputes, love, real-estate; stories about urban sprawl, lost traditions and people mak-ing a quick buck. Written with wit and in a crackling Australian idiom, it is a fast paced, funny and highly satisfying piece of theatre about life beyond the big city.

The Wharf RevueFor more than 15 years The Wharf Revue have mercilessly mocked all the usual suspects. We’ve watched Howard Tampa with refugees, Rudd give pennies from Kevin, Gillard refuse to be lectured by “that man”, “that man” scrap the carbon tax, stop the boats and – um – get the budget back into surplus… No-one has been able to outplay, outwit or outlast The Wharf Revue, so now we’re throwing a party and everyone’s invited. This year’s show will be a parade of past and present indignitaries - from politicians to celebrities - all skewered on the stake of side-splitting satirical silliness and musical mayhem. Who will make the cut? Who has the numbers in the caucus room? It’s anyone’s guess!
