Harbour Theatre and Studio2Stage present the 2012 revival version of Godspell with enthusiasm and a sense of fun. Godspell, based on the Gospel of St Matthew is often remembered for its “hippie” vibe and seen as very much a product of the 1970s. This version is made for the millennial with contemporary references and a clean, present day vibe. 

There seems initially little honey to taste in the slum lives of this young mother and her teenage daughter in 1950’s working class England.  Shelagh Delaney wrote the hit play (and later film) when she was just 19.

Yet the honey is in the women’s underlying exuberance, the humour in their flawed males and a 50’s soundtrack which blows away cobwebs.

The Armageddon is here - the world is ending - so let’s party it out.

Motor – Mouth Loves Suck Faceis an electrifying, eclectic teenage apocalypse musical currently on at La Mama’s Carlton Court House. Anthony Crowley a multi award winning playwright and diverse all rounder has written, directed, composed and designed this fabulous production.

Zombies, geeks, cyborgs, alien invasion, worm holes and global warming set this phantasmagorical play on fire with ceaseless teenage drama, heartbreak and sweepingly fantastic and bizarre entertainment.

Duncan Graham had studied 19th century playwright August Strindberg’s works but had no knowledge of his play Creditors until he saw a production of it in London ten years ago.  He was so impacted by the psychological thriller he immediately began adapting the work towards producing it in Australia. The result is the tense, thrillingly surreal and frequently very funny State Theatre Company of South Australia production now being staged at Space Theatre, Adelaide Festival Centre.
