Moscow, 1938. A dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both. And then he’s offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his 60th birthday. Inspired by historical fact, embark on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his drama. A new play by John Hodge. (approx: 3 hours, 15 mins.)
 
 
 Travelling Light  Tuesday, February 21 • 7pm
  Nicholas Wright’s new play is a funny & fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age. In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is  entranced by the flickering silent images on his father’s cinematograph when he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life & confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. (approx: 3 hours)
 
 

 The Comedy
of Errors

 Friday, March 9 • 7:30pm
   Shakespeare’s furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time. Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. (approx: 3 hours, 15 mins.)
 
 
She Stoops
To Conquer

  Saturday, April 28 • 7:30pm
   One of the great, generous-hearted & ingenious comedies of the English language. Goldsmith’s classic offers a celebration of chaos, courtship & the dysfunctional family. A man of substance, looking forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal’s son is mistaken for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while the young lad can barely speak to a woman of quality he’s a charmer with those of a different stamp. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, and mayhem ensues. (approx: 3 hours)
