Our Man in Havana at Javeenbah Theatre (Nerang, Queensland) is something of a cautionary tale: be careful what you lie about because some of it may come true... and people may die.

Written by Graham Greene, and adapted for the stage by Clive Francis, the satirical comedy lampooning an inept British Intelligence Service, MI5, plays from May 24, 2013.

The lives and stories of a diverse group of people representing Brisbane’s urban landscape will be on show in May 2013 with the premiere of Joymas Creative’s verbatim musical theatre production, The 25 Project.

The show is constructed entirely from the words of the general public, cast and other creatives, all of whom have contributed their stories using 25 words or less.

During May 2013, Stirling Theatre (WA) presents the premiere of a new play by Stirling Players’ resident playwright, Peter Flanigan, which he describes as a comedy-drama with a few current social issues thrown in for good measure.

Is it possible to “get away from it all”?  Maybe; maybe not. A Country Retreat, written in 2010, is set in a rural area of the south west of WA and presents real characters in believable situations; a play for our time.

When CLOC Musical Theatre’s World Amateur Premiere of The Phantom of the Opera hits the stage of St Kilda’s National Theatre on Friday May 10, Laura Slavin will appear as Christine Daae.

What attracted Laura to audition for The Phantom of the Opera?

“Christine has been a dream role for me for as long as I can remember.
