Mates Theatre Genesis is back with another of their annual Australia Day plays, which have been performed at The Redland Museum for over a decade. This year’s offering is Sailing South, a delightfully tongue-in-cheek tale of an inexperienced captain and a crew of prisoners bound for Botany Bay in the 1850s.

Harriet braves her first trip on the London Underground as she travels to an interview for her dream job. This one-woman play about life, decisions, and the perils of public transport, will hopefully return to its Fringe World season post Perth lockdown.

Written, directed and expertly performed by Madelaine Page, this is a dynamic, pacy play with a loveable heroine, who makes us part of her perilous journey on the tube. Cleverly written and nicely traversing time, space and reality, we get to know the delightful Harriet and become very invested in her success.  

The Witch and the Goat is a mesmerising, impactful and highly emotional piece of physical theatre, presented by Art in Process and Existence Theatre at Old Customs House, Fremantle as part of Fringe World.

Written by AR Gurney in 1988, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Love Letters appears deceptively simple. By calling for a pair of actors to read from scripts on an otherwise bare stage, it could sound like one notch up from a radio play.
