    The Worst Little Warehouse In London

    By Lala Barlow & Robbie Smith

    Directed By Sarah Redmond

    When 12 people live under the same roof in a converted warehouse in North London, what could possibly go wrong?

    In this funny and off the wall cabaret, Lala Barlow and Robbie Smith are two wide-eyed koalas fresh off the boat, looking for the perfect place to call home. Over 60 minutes, relive their year living at Unit 1 Cotton Mill as they discover high ceilings, bathroom baskets, and very thin bedroom walls.

    Directed by Sarah Redmond and starring every housemate you’ve ever lived with, The Worst Little Warehouse In London is a celebration of the joys of share housing and the people you meet along the way.

    Gloria (MTC Production)

    Editorial assistant Dean stumbles into work, hungover from last night’s mortifying party at Gloria’s house. Surrounded by his ambitious co-workers in their Manhattan magazine office, the only thing that matters is how fast you can climb the journalistic ladder of success and get your name in print. Today is just another ordinary day until suddenly it’s not and the stakes for who gets the story become higher than ever.

    Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ explosive Pulitzer Prize finalist Gloria is a fresh and surprising new satire that takes a scathing look at office politics, our exploitative, media-saturated age and holds up a cracked mirror to American culture. This Australian premiere is directed by Lee Lewis (Hay Fever) featuring a favourite of stage and screen, Lisa McCune (Cabaret) like you’ve never seen her before, with Callan Colley (Three Sisters), Jordan Fraser-Trumble (The Legend of Ben Hall), Jane Harber (Offspring), Aileen Huynh (Cleverman) and Peter Paltos (Minnie & Liraz).

    Brothers Wreck

    BY JADA ALBERTS

    Ruben is full of anger and dancing on the edge, struggling to cope with his brother’s death. As Darwin swelters, tensions in the house are high as Ruben slips further and further adrift from all those around him: his counselor, his best mate, his sister, his beloved Aunty. When the summer storm finally breaks, the family must pull together and find the strength to bring Ruben back from the brink.

    Jada Alberts’ breakout play is one of the most moving pieces to grace Australian stages in recent years. Starring Trevor Jamieson (The Season, Melbourne Festival), Nelson Baker (The Warriors, ABC TV), Lisa Flanagan (Australian Rules), Leonie Whyman (Black Comedy, ABC) and Dion Williams (Gallipoli, Nine) this is Jada’s directorial debut of her hit powerhouse play – heralded as a triumph in its Sydney premiere season. Transporting us to her hometown in the Top End, Jada leads us through a gripping drama about a grief-stricken family whose love for each other knows no limits.

    Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly).

    Fury (Red Stitch Actors Theatre, Melbourne, Australia)

    Alice and Patrick are conscientious and thoughtful, educated and open-minded, and that’s how they’ve raised their son, Joe. One evening, Joe’s teacher arrives to tell them that Joe is in trouble. Detained by police, he has committed an act of vandalism. Against the local mosque.

    Fury pushes into controversial territory: where personal sacrifice and responsibility are pitted against political correctness, and “good” people must confront the limitations of their empathy in the face of terror.

    Are the children who are inheriting the world forced to place pragmatism ahead of conscience, or are idealism and hope the only way forward?

    Puffs (Alex Theatre, Melbourne, Australia)

    The record-breaking smash off-Broadway hit now in its second year comes to Melbourne. The New York Times says Puffs “Exudes a jovial winking fondness for all things Harry!”

    “‘Hufflepuffs’ finally get their moment in HILARIOUS Potter play, ‘PUFFS’!!” declares Mashable. For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.

    The play gives you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three new heroes just trying to make it through magic school.

    The House of Bernarda Alba (An MTC Production)

    With their mining-mogul father dead, the Alba household is in mourning. All four daughters have been called home by their matriarch mother to pay their respects and bunker down in the family home. The future seems wildly uncertain for all but the eldest sister, who has inherited a fortune and is engaged to the local heartthrob. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, will any of them have the power to alter their destiny?

    Renowned playwright Patricia Cornelius takes Federico García Lorca’s classic tragedy out of the villages of Spain and into the heat of rural Western Australia to explore themes of passion, repression, and isolation in an exhilarating adaptation directed by Leticia Cáceres.
