What's On this week....
| | Coming soon
| Chasing the Lollyman - Sue Benner Theatre
Are you ready for a theatre experience like no other? Are you ready to be shocked, surprised, to learn and to understand how family, culture and every experience makes us who we are? Chasing the Lollyman is a one man show performed by Mark Sheppard, co-devised with Liz Skitch. At the heart of this unique body of work are one man’s beliefs about contemporary Aboriginal identity.  | |
 | Etiquette - Brisbane Powerhouse
Although performed in a public space, this gripping two-person performance is highly personal as you are the performer. The concept is simple. There is no-one watching - other people in the cafe or bar are not aware of it. Taking a seat with a friend or stranger, you wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. | |
| Wondermart - Brisbane Powerhouse
Wondermart is a unique, interactive audio tour that takes you on a journey through the familiar surroundings of the supermarket. Wearing headphones and anonymous behind your trolley, you are guided around the aisles immersed in a private soundscape. The real blurs with the imaginary, and the every day setting of the ‘high density retail environment’ is rediscovered for decidedly non commercial reasons. | |
| Hamlet - Roundhouse Theatre
This is the greatest play ever written. Hamlet is Shakespeare's cleverest hero, and maybe the sexiest too. We want to be him, be friends with him, or sleep with him. He is son, lover, friend, student, comedian, actor, director, brilliant visionary and expert swordsman. And he's a Prince. Yet for all this astonishing variety, he walks the world with us and asks our questions. | |
| Radiance - Brisbane Arts Theatre
Three half-sisters gather in a sleepy North Queensland town. They are there to bury their mother, but it is a night for truths and the bonds of deceit, shame and secrets will be ripped apart forever. Louis Nowra’s richly-textured story about these three indigenous Australian women is deeply personal, yet resonates broadly. A must see. | |
| The Little Dog Laughed - Cremorne Theatre QPAC
Hot acting property, Mitchell, is about to make it big professionally, but his personal life is a mess. His cunningly manipulative agent, Diane, knows that Mitchell can be the next big thing, if he can only overcome his ‘slight recurring case of homosexuality’. When Mitchell falls for the young hustler Alex and tongues start wagging, Diane resorts to increasingly ridiculous schemes to keep the truth from coming out. | |
| Performance Anxiety - Brisbane Powerhouse
If we’ve never had it so good, why do we feel so bad? Nationally acclaimed performer/choreographer Brian Lucas holds a mirror up to our age of anxiety, revealing reflections which dazzle and provoke. Dance, movement, physical imagery, voice and sound combine to create this intriguing and confronting dance theatre work. | |
| The Flowering - Judith Wright Centre
When 18-year-old Chloe disappears from home, her mother is convinced she is dead. Although she returns the following Spring, Chloe will not tell her mother what happened or where she has been. Many Springs later, Chloe is compelled to reveal what happened, and in so doing the mysteries of the past are finally pieced together. | |
| The Eisteddford - Powerhouse Theatre
This eloquent exploration into the lives of orphaned siblings Abalone and Gerture reveals their innermost fantasies and fears with compelling precision. Battling to win the adulation of the auditorium at the annual Eisteddfod, Abalone is again trying to prove himself the talent his mother believed him to be – but he can’t do it alone. | |
| The Ballad of Backbone Joe - Visy Theatre
Set in the roaring carnival days of pre-war Australia, in a small town’s abattoir and boxing emporium, the tale unfolds through jigsaw-puzzle narrative, film, visual trickery, bone-crunching slapstick, dark humour and the unique Rag ‘n’ Bone music and junkyard aesthetic of Melbourne-based, internationally acclaimed, trio The Suitcase Royale. | |
| Curtains - Main Theatre
Never before staged in Australia, professionally or in community theatre, SPOTLIGHT THEATRICAL COMPANY, Gold Coasts premiere community Theatre Company proudly presents this hilarious murder mystery spoof. CURTAINS, the Musical Comedy Whodunit, is the last show from Kander and Ebb, the creators of Cabaret and Chicago. | |
| The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Live Floorshow - StageDoor Dinner Theatre
In the tradition of the “Midnight Screenings”, die hard fans will bring the movie to life with an interactive floorshow. Dance the night away with hits like “Sweet Transvestite”, “Hot Patootie”, and “The Time Warp,” and sing along with the stars of the 1975 Cult Film Classic, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Richard O’Brien. | |
