Sitting alone in solitude for millennia, roasting in the warm sun, chilling in the cool nights, a product of entropy and science. Existing tall and sturdy in the outback a few kilometres away from Alice Springs, a rock. A geological wonder of abiotic existence. It sits undisturbed, unnoticed, unregistered for its mildly out of place complexion, until the pests arrive. The infestation to the planet, the weed that's spread from continent to continent. Humans. When word spreads through a myriad of ones and zeros with messages of conspiracy, doubt, excitement, desire, curiosity, the consequences are made clear. Clear that the limbic system of the average human may not be equipped to handle the unexplainable, unable to comprehend the ineffable, void of the necessary tools to materialise the appropriate emotions to regulate the thoughts and responses necessary for dealing with such complex reality. Lochie Daniel offers us an exaggerated perspective into the human condition. How the need for more can in fact, reduce. This original story is told through the lives of 71 different people, from authors to researchers, game devs and students. Holly Hastings, Isiah Macaspac, and Gracie Greenrod are the 3 brave actors who embody these characters and tell the story. The story that places a lens on ourselves that we can use to examine our minds and push through the immature and the unnecessary to see that at the end of the day... it's just a rock.

Till The Stars Come Down A wedding day. A heatwave. A family on the brink. Beth Steel’s Till the Stars Come Down is the Olivier-nominated sensation that captivated London. Set in a former East Midlands mining town, this “sharply comic and deeply touching drama” (Broadway World) takes place over one scorching summer day as Sylvia marries Marek, a Polish immigrant — and nothing goes to plan. As the drinks flow and old wounds rise to the surface, love is tested, loyalties fracture, and long-buried secrets explode. Hailed as “a wedding you’ll never forget — and a play you’ll never stop thinking about” (Theatre Weekly), this critical smash from the writer of The House of Shades is a bold, blistering celebration of family, hope, and the ties that bind… or break.

The Sound Inside A mystery. A confession. A choice that changes everything. Nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Play, Adam Rapp’s The Sound Inside is a razor-sharp psychological thriller that unfolds with the elegance of a gripping novel. When celebrated author and college professor Bella Baird meets the brilliant and volatile student Christopher, an unlikely bond forms — one built on intellect, loneliness and a shared love of words. But as their connection deepens, Bella reveals a secret that forces them both toward an unthinkable decision. A masterclass in restrained, intelligent drama, The Sound Inside builds with quiet, relentless tension until you’re perched on the edge of your seat. Haunting, poetic and full of startling twists, this is theatre that slips under your skin — and stays there. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

The Weir A stormy night. A quiet pub. Stories that chill the blood — and break the heart. Conor McPherson’s Olivier Award-winning masterpiece The Weir is a modern classic of Irish storytelling, where humour, folklore and raw humanity collide. In a remote County Leitrim pub, four locals settle into their nightly banter — until Valerie, a newcomer from Dublin, steps through the door. Eager to impress, the men begin swapping eerie tales of ghosts, strange happenings and the folklore that lingers in the Irish countryside. But when Valerie shares her own devastating story, the night shifts, revealing wounds, regrets and the fragile hope that binds us all. Haunting, intimate and unexpectedly moving, The Weir is a powerful reminder of how the stories we tell — and the ones we hide — shape who we are. A spellbinding night of theatre you won’t forget.
