Till The Stars Come Down

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.

ONLY HUMAN

Only Human is an exploration of the profound relationship between reality and the digital world. 80 year old Ruth is admitted into a nursing home as she starts developing qualities of aging and dementia. Everything from the perspective of her daughter Jody starts looking bleak, not until a significant change is made at the home, a change to replace all human staff with robotic carers. This piece unravels the fabric between mother and daughter in a constantly changing and dynamic relationship where history has it's final say, and the ethics of artificial intelligence are brought into the limelight. The text is written by an emerging Melbourne playwright, Louise Hopewell. It is getting its first official staging at the quaint and charming Holden Street Theatres mid June 2026. Local director Hannah Smith has translated the piece to the stage with a minimal but expressionistic design that sets the focus and attention right onto the characters and themes surrounding them.

The Sound Inside

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

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.
