'I should have kept my mouth shut, I should have said nothing.'

Eddie’s a handyman, Doreen keeps a clean house, John’s got a new hat and Paul’s back from college — but the Jacksons are living under siege. Sudden violence blows open their lives in the latest darkly comic play from Simon Bent, whose other acclaimed work includes Sugar Sugar, Bad Company and Goldhawk Road.

A black comedy that demonstrates Nowra's early preoccupation with isolation and the exercise of power through imagination. An amnesiac takes shelter with an urban hermit.

In a moment of glory at the 1968 Olympics, an Australian rowing team known as 'The Four Amigos' won bronze. It was lifetime bonding material.

Or so it seemed. Thirty-five years later only two of the Amigos keep in touch. Jim is a wealthy banker with a young, beautiful wife and seems to have it all. His friend Dick, a heart surgeon, has something that Jim covets: a sterling reputation. When the two mates meet up in Port Douglas with their wives, they have competing personal agendas. Then Steven, a third Amigo, turns up, ready to expose the past.

A savagely funny play that hinges on the subtle aggression and unacknowledged dependencies of male friendship—and the angst and irritation created for those on the sidelines.

A play about Germany's most important and best loved female artist of the twentieth century, which grapples with the question asked by art historian, Linda Nochlin—why have there been no 'great' women artists?

A madcap comedy that takes a recipe for family life, throws it in a blender with a generous dollop of queer consciousness and celebrates the result.

'I'm sitting here trying to think about important stuff and you're zappin' me with lust rays — juicin' me up when I'm tryin' to focus on my English. You gotta stop that shit.'

It's Jay's first day at St Peter's and two things are clear — one, she doesn't fit in, and two, neither does anyone else. Everyone has a story to tell: Patsy the 'baby borrower', Brendan the motor-mouth perve, and the live-wire Lanny, who could erupt at any time. What's Jay's story and why won't she tell it? Commissioned by Soho Theatre Company, Badnuff is a brutally funny new play.

An innovative and quirky journey through the private musings of a cowboy.
