West Gate
Dennis McIntosh

On 15 October 1970, the West Gate Bridge collapsed, killing thirty-five men in what remains Australia's deadliest industrial accident. Dennis McIntosh's haunting and compassionate play revisits this defining moment in Australian history, honouring the workers whose lives were lost and the families forever changed.

Lazarus
John Harding

LAZARUS is the extraordinary true story of Larry Walsh (Taungurung Elder, activist and storyteller) brought to life in a heartfelt and vital story that speaks to the soul of this country. The play follows Lazarus as he rises from the ashes of injustice to reclaim his story and his spirit.

Fly Girl
Genevieve Hegney and Catherine Moore

It's the late 70's and the Australian Aviation Industry is a boy's club. The only job women are allowed involves wearing heels, lighting smokes and serving nuts. Deborah Lawrie's got the chops to fly the big jets, but Reg Ansett won't let her.

In this new comedy with Georgie Parker, A Country Practice addict and self-professed fanatic Melanie Tait, imagines what it was like for the writers to pen the episode that became a defining cultural moment in the nation's TV history. Whether you're a diehard fan of this iconic TV series or simply a lover of a cracking Australian story, you'll be rolling in the aisles with laughter at How to Plot a Hit in Two Days.

Green Park
Elias Jamieson Brown

Green Park, picturesque by day, a little eerie by night. It’s where Warren and Edden are meeting, as a prelude to their Grindr hook up. One of them doesn't look like his photo. There's an age gap between them (but what's a decade or three?). And one is harbouring a dangerous secret. In an hour's time, both will leave the park profoundly transformed.

The Chosen Vessel
Dylan Van Den Berg

From award-winning Palawa playwright, Dylan Van Den Berg (Milk, Whitefella Yella Tree, Way Back When), comes an Aboriginal Gothic Horror and bold adaptation – a radical reimagining of Barbara Baynton's 'The Chosen Vessel'. This alternate version of Baynton's classic Australian story provokes us to reflect on what we choose to see – and what we wilfully ignore.

Yong
Jenevieve Chang

It's 1857, and the Australian Gold Rush is booming. Thirteen-year-old Yong and his father leave their small village in Guangdong, China, to cross the seas in search of fortune in the goldfields of Ballarat. But Yong doesn't want to be on this journey.

The Black Woman of Gippsland is a poetic and thrilling tale about the myths and half-truths that surround the figure of a 'white woman' said to have lived among the Gunaikurnai people of Gippsland in the 1840s.

Big Girls Don't Cry
Dalara Williams

A sharp and celebratory new play from Gumbaynggirr/Wiradjuri woman Dalara Williams, that pays respect to a generation that led the way, and to Black women who won't take a backward step.

My Brilliant Career
Sheridan Harbridge, Dean Bryant

Sybylla Melvyn is finding her voice. Growing up in the 90s – the 1890s, that is – life doesn't throw a lot of options at a girl. But life didn't reckon on Sybylla. Forced to choose between romance and her own genius, her family and a future she defines, she's decided she's having it all.
