God Of Carnage

by Yasmina Reza
translated by Christopher Hampton


Something nasty involving the Children and a stick has occurred in the playground. It’s time for the Grown-ups to intervene.

The evening starts very civilly. Michel and Veronique – the victim’s parents – are genial hosts. Alain and Annette – the perpetrator’s parents – are gracious guests. That is until the façade of gentility is swept away, sending accusations and recriminations hurtling like missiles between them.

They might be the Grown-ups, but are they mature enough? Do any of them have the moral oomph required to negotiate a just and diplomatic outcome? When the appearance of civility is gone, do they actually care about what is right?

Yasmina Reza, the author of Art and Life x 3, has hit the nail on the head again. In this explosive satire she dares the audience to look beyond individual conflicts to the source of our constant embattlement.

Bell Shakespeare presents


The Taming Of The Shrew

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
DIRECTED BY MARION POTTS


Disco balls, karaoke and a daring all-female cast tell the story of a woman no 'man' can contain. While Lucentio fixes his gaze on sweet and gentle Bianca, Petruchio sets his sights on Bianca’s wanton sister, Kate, and vows to tame her.

Directed by Marion Potts (Othello, Hamlet, Venus & Adonis), this new production of Shakespeare’s controversial comedy takes the politics of marriage to ludicrous heights. Witty, energetic and packed with female punch, The Taming Of The Shrew is the perfect night out for anyone who has ever fallen in love – and managed to survive it.

The Mikado
by William S Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan


School’s out in Titipu, with three little maids on the loose. Their guardian, Ko-Ko, aka the Lord High Executioner, intends to marry one of them, but his chosen bride Yum-Yum is in love with a wandering minstrel and part-time trombonist.

Meanwhile Pish-Tush, the Lord High Everything Else, is insisting that heads must roll and, what’s more, the Emperor of Japan is on his way to Titipu.

Confused? Don’t be, because this is Gilbert and Sullivan, so a neat and happy ending is assured, along with a kiss or two, a song and dance and some wicked jokes along the way.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s wacky romp comes to the Sydney Opera House in a much-loved production, originally designed by Tim Goodchild, and polished to a high sheen by Stuart Maunder.

Following his extraordinary portrayal of the title role in The Phantom of the Opera, music theatre star Anthony Warlow is Ko-Ko. He is joined by a cast of favourites including Richard Alexander, Kanen Breen, Warwick Fyfe, Luke Gabbedy, Adele Johnston, Stephen Smith and, sharing the role of the delectable Yum-Yum, Taryn Fiebig and Lorina Gore.

Get ready for a feast of mischief and great melodies from the all-singing, all-dancing talents of Australia’s national opera company.

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams


Downtown New Orleans. In blows Blanche DuBois: a Southern Belle, a fading beauty, a passionate, fragile thing.

And she really is in the wrong place. All her respectability, politenesses and old-fashioned Southern airs and graces provoke the disdain of her sister Stella's husband. Stanley is a rough, modern man with a coarse sense of humour, no interest in manners and a wild streak.

Her flirting, primping and needy behaviour fix Stanley's determination to break Blanche and all she stands for. And then she wins the heart of his poker buddy, Mitch.

A Streetcar Named Desire is a compelling and sensuous play which features some of the most memorable characters in theatrical history. The battle between Blanche and Stanley comes to embody nothing less than the battle between tradition and progress itself. The quasi-aristocratic world of plantations, mint juleps and poetry at dusk going head to head with the emerging urban, industrial uberlith of the all-beer, all-poker New America.

Saturn's Return
by Tommy Murphy


A moment of hesitation, on an afternoon like any other, will change the life of twenty-something, Zara, forever.

When Matt tells Zara that he loves her, she is unable to respond. Why can’t she tell him that she loves him just as she has countless times before?

According to the astrologers Zara is going through her Saturn Return: a period of upheaval. But is the universe really conspiring against Matt and Zara, or are they simply unwilling to grow up?

One of Australia’s most exciting young playwrights, Tommy Murphy (Holding the Man, Strangers in Between), uses his trademark comic flair to scrutinise the conundrums which face the indulged generations X and Y.

David Berthold’s snappy, sexy production was first staged in 2008 as part of Sydney Theatre Company’s Wharf 2LOUD Season. In 2009, he and his team rejoin us at The Wharf with a fresh production developed for our Main Stage Season. Murphy's refocused and refined script explores new territories but maintains the wit and theatricality that won over Wharf2LOUD audiences.

Perhaps you’ll recognise yourself in Saturn’s Return. Perhaps you’ll recognise your children. Either way you’ll find yourself questioning just what the future has in store for a generation with its own unique take on love and commitment.

Sydney Opera House presents the Vienna Schauspielhaus production of

Barrie Kosky's
Poppea


After triumphant, sell-out seasons in Vienna, Berlin and the Edinburgh International Festival, it is now Sydney's turn to experience Poppea.

Barrie Kosky's contemporary remix of Monteverdi's operatic masterpiece, The Coronation of Poppea, blends Baroque music with tango, klezmer and jazz, fluidly merging 400 years of musical history. The songs of Cole Porter are woven through the opera to create a show that defies description: Opera meets Musical meets Erotic Revue!

The goddess of love Amor encourages the romance between the Emperor Nero and his mistress Poppea, despite his existing marriage. Sex, passion and politics ensure the path to this union is bloody, passionate and sexy.

This radical version of the original opera is sung, spoken, whispered and screamed by the astonishing original Viennese cast.

Cole Porter meets Monteverdi by way of burlesque.

Bell Shakespeare presents












In Association with TaikOz
Pericles
By William Shakespeare
Directed by John Bell
With Marcus Graham & John Gaden


A man reels from loss to loss, enduring 14 years of calamity. Yet he comes through ‘assail'd with fortune fierce and keen…Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last’

Marcus Graham, one of Australia’s most charismatic actors, returns to the Bell Shakespeare stage as Pericles, the man at the mercy of fate. He has discovered a sordid secret involving his bride-to-be and her father, the King. Assassins are unleashed. Pericles is pursued into exile where he will be battered by the winds of misfortune, finding love and family, only to lose both. He will be shipwrecked, encounter pirates, pimps, people brought back from the dead…

Bell Shakespeare is joined by the sensational Australian taiko drumming ensemble TaikOz, enhancing the play’s inherent spirituality and mystical energy.

With a sublime cast that includes John Gaden as the Storyteller, director John Bell brings this notoriously ambitious work to the stage as a physical, fast-paced, adult fairytale, right when its message is needed most.

A beacon for uncertain times, Pericles is a story of optimism in the face of fate and of hope in the midst of tragedy.

Sydney Theatre Company in association with Ambassador Theatre Group present


Elling
Based on a novel by Ingvar Ambjørnsen
Stage adaptation by Axel Hellstenius
in collaboration with Petter Næss
Translated by Nicholas Norris
Adapted by Simon Bent


After two years of sharing a room in a mental institution Elling (Darren Gilshenan) and Kjell (Lachy Hulme) are allowed out, back into society. It’s not that they’re dangerous, they’re just a little… hopeless.

Elling is too smart. Too sensitive. Too… Elling. And Kjell? Well, Kjell has a plan, a dream, a great ambition. He wants to lose his virginity. Preferably today.

Elling charts the bumps and stumbles as this truly odd couple make their way back into the world we take for granted. Over the course of the play they will build friendships, become accustomed to all things ordinary and start to experience the pleasure of the everyday.

Based on the cult Norwegian film of the same name, Simon Bent’s adaptation of Elling was first performed at London’s Bush Theatre in 2007 and, due to its huge success, went on to transfer to Trafalgar Studios in the West End.

Even the hardest heart will struggle not to be touched by the characters’ plight and the joy with which they discover the richness of life in the ‘real’ world. Pamela Rabe directs this charming celebration of the simple things in life: freedom and fellowship.
