Kenneth Lonergan’s This is Our Youth is a well-known coming of age play, set in New York’s Upper East Side at the beginning of the Reagan era. Set over 48 hours it tells of three lost souls - ,Warren Straub a 19-year-old who has stolen $15 thousand dollars from his business tycoon father, Dennis, his drug dealer friend, and Warren’s love interest, Jessica. This incarnation is presented by Marked Studios, for a very short production as part of Subilicious for Fringe World.

This is the Australian (an International) premiere of White Sun. This one-person show is playing for a short season as part of the Blue Room Theatre’s Summer Season. 

A lone actor, Will Dickie, moves strangely on the stage, continually moving throughout the sixty-minute play. He explains that like David Garrick who pioneered a new style of acting, he comes from Hampton and intends to do the same - with a pioneering acting style.

While you may not recognise Milo Hartill’s name, you will probably recognise her face or figure. Star of a hugely popular Google Commercial, underwear model and actress, this young woman from Perth has acting performances with Melbourne Theatre Company and at Sydney Opera House to her credit.

The Simple Gift had its World Premiere as part of Roleystone Theatre’s One Act Season in 2024. At the time I described it as one of the best short plays of the year. Now produced by director Andre Victor, it returns with the same cast, for a short season, as part of Fringe World.
