Going Down

BY MICHELE LEE

Natalie Yang's career is going up. Or, so she thought. Her semi-autobiographical sex-positive debut novel, Banana Girl, has finally hit the shelves, but it's not quite the best-seller she hoped it would be. The career success of her rival, Lu Lu Jayadi, an award-winning author of clichéd migrant stories, sends Natalie’s confidence spiraling out of control.

Natalie is only one bender away from cracking her next big idea, but it may take a shame spiral in a luxury shopping centre to get there. Her career come-down is about to get very real.

Leticia Cáceres directs this side-splitting comedy on the contradictions of Melburnian multiculturalism, from the fast-paced mind of Hmong-Aussie playwright Michele Lee (winner of the 2018 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award, for Rice).

Bliss

BY PETER CAREY

We need to talk about Harry Joy. The world revolves around him. Until he dies on a sunny afternoon.

He awakens to a curious vision of the world he has known for 39 years. Fakes instead of family. Allies have become enemies. Conspiracies everywhere. His wife, children and friends attempt to punish him through a series of twisted inconveniences. Harry concludes that this Hell around him has been there the entire time. He’s just been too asleep to see it.

Peter Carey’s madcap novel is brought to life in a lush and extraordinary collaboration from the team behind Picnic at Hanging Rock. Starring Toby Truslove (ABC’s Utopia) and a stellar ensemble cast, follow Harry as he clamours for his soul, from suburbia to the rainforest, and beyond.

Wild

Ordinary Joe one day – America’s Most Wanted the next. That’s what happens when you leak top-secret government intelligence. Now Andrew is on the run, holed up in a Russian hotel room – a political pawn with a target on his back, and no idea who to trust.

Olivier Award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett (King Charles III) isn’t afraid to tackle the big questions of our times, and his dark, comic twist on the Edward Snowden story, Wild, is a riveting contemporary thriller that turns the world upside down.

A gripping exploration of privacy and surveillance in the digital age, this Australian premiere production stars Nicholas Denton (Jasper Jones), Anna Lise Phillips (Animal Kingdom) and Toby Schmitz (Black Sails), directed by MTC Associate Director Dean Bryant (Vivid White).

Steve Bugeja’s Summer Camp (Melbourne Comedy Festival)

Immature? Unprepared? Scared of teenagers? Steve Bugeja was perfect for the job.

It's 2009 and an 18-year-old Steve decides to spend his summer working at a kids’ camp in America, dreaming of red cups, beach parties and being mistaken for Prince Harry. Unfortunately, coming to America doesn’t stop him from being notoriously terrible with children and even worse at talking to women.

After winning the hearts of Melbourne audiences in New Order in 2017, Steve Bugeja returns for his Australian solo debut – a coming-of-age story packed full of laughs and charm. Join this BBC New Comedy Award winner as he relives that fateful summer.

David O’Doherty: You Have To Laugh (Melbourne)

Unhook your mindbras. David O'Doherty is coming back to Australia with a brand-new show made up of talking and songs played on a crappy keyboard from 1986\. That is, if the demo tune doesn't go off on the keyboard as his suitcase is being unloaded from the plane like last time, and the Australian border police almost carry out a controlled explosion on it.
