| Talking Heads from 9th Nov at Playhouse, QPAC | |
Two of the world’s finest actresses will star in two outstanding plays from award-winning playwright Alan Bennett.
Twice nominated for an Academy Award, and Golden Globe winning actress, Brenda Blethyn will star in Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet and joining her is Australia’s best loved actress, Sigrid Thornton performing Her Big Chance in what can only be described as a theatrical tour de force.
Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet is the delightful tale of a guileless spinster, who, when her chiropodist retires, finds happy feet with her new specialist. Forced to leave her position in soft furnishings at the local department store, as the primary carer for her disabled brother, Miss Fozzard ventures into an extraordinary relationship with her new podiatrist opening her to a world of new experiences.
Her Big Chance is the story of Lesley, an ambitious yet somewhat delusional actress in search of the ever elusive “Big Break”. Lesley works hard at her craft but needs a career “leg up”. Will a chance encounter at a party provide just that?
The Talking Heads monologues are poignant yet hilarious pieces that showcase Bennett’s brilliant powers of observation and comic timing, often revealing the darker more satirical side of his work.

| Seasons Greetings from 9th Nov at Morningside TAFE Theatre | |
Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy revolves around a group of family and friends who meet to celebrate a traditional Christmas. Into their midst a guest arrives whose presence both disturbs and delights the group. Hilarious action under the Christmas tree, an unforgettable puppet show and masterly action by an ageing uncle combine to show Ayckbourn at his entertaining best.
|
| Heroes from 12th Nov at Cremorne Theatre | |
First World War veterans Henri, Gustave and Philippe spend their autumn years reflecting upon the peculiar circumstances of their equally peculiar nursing home. Will Philippe survive Sister Madeleine’s obsession with birthdays? Can Gustave ever get past the front gate? How will Henri woo his young school teacher? And is there more to the stone dog than meets the eye?
Time is running out for our three ex-Musketeers, until they hatch a daring plan to seize the day: their own great escape from the nursing home!
Tom Stoppard’s Olivier Award winning translation of this gentle comedy by Gerald Sibleyras sparkles with the master playwright’s trademark wit and wordplay.

| Living in the 80's from 16th Nov at Pavillion Theatre | |
The 80s come alive in November when Phoenix Ensemble performs its latest production, “Living in the 80s,” at the Pavilion Theatre, James Street, Beenleigh.
Classics including Material Girl, Don’t Worry Be Happy, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Another Brick In The Wall will be re-energised in an all-singing, all-dancing, hyper-colour crazy kaleidoscope of madness.
The show promises to transport you back to a time when the world was totally radical, gnarly and pumped to the max.
A solid cast of 21, musical direction by Shanon Whitelock and a five-piece band (led by the awesome twosome Nick Ng and Ben Murray, most recently noted for musical direction of South Pacific) recreate that unique 80s sound that will have you “Walking on Sunshine”.
