The Crucible
by Arthur Miller

‘….though our hearts break, we cannot flinch; these are new times, sir. There is a misty plot afoot so subtle we should be criminal to cling to old respects and ancient friendships. I have seen too many frightful proofs in court – the Devil is alive in Salem, and we dare not quail to follow wherever the accusing finger points!’

In this astounding modern classic, Arthur Miller chronicles the horrors and corruption of the Salem witch-trials of 1692. A powerful allegory for what Miller considered to be a witch-hunt in his own time – the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings – the play examines justice, injustice, honour and courage.

The Crucible opens as Reverend Parris weeps at his ailing daughter’s bedside. His fear is that she has been possessed by a dark magic and that the same force is tightening its grip on others in Salem. As suspicion spreads, the deeply pious village descends into a religious and moral hysteria, as it attempts to define the beliefs at the community’s very foundation.

Brilliant young director Tanya Goldberg will realise an abridged version of Miller’s masterpiece, exposing the unnerving immediacy of the timeless work. This bold, contemporary production will reveal the multiple layers of allegory, demonstrating that this is as much a play for our own time as it is was for Miller’s.

The Bell Shakespeare Company presents

A Co-Production with Queensland Theatre Company
The Alchemist
by Ben Jonson
Directed by John Bell
With Patrick Dickson & Andrew Tighe

While the cat’s away, the mice will play! Lovewit leaves the city and a menagerie of shady characters – a conman, a hooker and one very bored domestic helper – takes over his home, creating hoopla for their own amusement and gain.

See Face, the servant, and his two friends, Subtle and Dol Common, juggle scams like plates on sticks! See them fend off suspicion with their wits brandished like swords! And witness, if you will, the alchemy of love and the world’s rightful order when the master returns to unravel the mayhem.

This is a show about the vices and vagaries of human nature, told through the antics of a trio of scammers including a charlatan disguised as an alchemist. Urban, fast-paced and vibrant, Ben Jonson’s greatest comedy revels in the zest for life among the bottom-feeders. Directed by John Bell, and featuring Patrick Dickson as Subtle and Andrew Tighe as Face, this is schtick in the city at its hardcore and hilarious best.

Travesties
by Tom Stoppard

As the First World War raged throughout Europe, three of the most acute minds of the Twentieth Century – James Joyce, Tristan Tzara and Lenin – sought sanctuary in Zurich.

Enter Henry Carr. Minor British Consul official. Dedicated follower of fashion. Shameless self promoter. Performer in Joyce’s 1917 amateur production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Told from the perspective of this historical non-entity, Carr – comforted by the passage of time and the vagaries of memory – (inaccurately) places himself at the centre of events, elevating his own importance in a period of intellectual invigoration and rigor; a time filled with the promise of cultural and social transformation.

In this classic comedy, Tom Stoppard juxtaposes the ridiculous pomposity of the brilliantly unremarkable Henry Carr against the exuberance and wit of some of the greatest talents of the last century. This is Stoppard at his best: a medley of debates pertaining to literature, philosophy, history and politics, spun from dialogue that glistens with language games, puns and wit.

Concussion
By Ross Mueller

Somewhere in a busy city, Caesar wakes to discover he has forgotten his life. He has no memory of the past and no clear sense of the present.

He is concussed. Or so he is told by his doctor: the doctor who is also his lover. Flashes of... something... begin to haunt him. What is it? Hunger, mourning, sexual appetite? Why is he not in hospital? And what of the voices, the Blackberry, the brothers?

As chronology returns so does Caesar’s desire to rectify past mistakes. Except if you only know half the story, it is difficult to know where to begin…

As Caesar begins to unpick the mystery of his life, we begin to unpick the mystery of the world in which he and we exist.

In this sexy, shocking, sprawling tale of love and ethics, fates are intertwined; time jumps through memory; facts get torn into lies; lovers are blogged about and brothers fight with accordions.

A comedy with attitude, Ross Mueller’s Concussion was developed through the 2008 National Play Festival and we are delighted to present the premiere season in partnership with Griffin Theatre Company.
