Looking Ahead to the 2025 Season
Sydney’s major theatre companies have announced their 2025 seasons and there is a lot to pick over.
-
People Will Think You Don’t Love Me (KXT Broadway) ★★★★
It’s a horror trope we know well. The protagonist has a transplant (a heart, a brain or an arm usually) and they become possessed by the original owner’s spirit…
-
The Inheritance, Parts 1 & 2 (Seymour Centre) ★★★★½
Grab a cushion and strap yourself in for a literary, theatrical marathon because The Inheritance has finally come to Sydney!
-
Interview: Director Shane Anthony on The Inheritance. “It’s rare that we get these kinds of durational experiences in Sydney.”
Matthew López’s Olivier and Tony Award winning two-part drama, The Inheritance Parts 1 & 2, is finally coming to Sydney this month. Director Shane Anthony stepped out of rehearsals to have a quick chat about why The Inheritance is so beloved and still so timely.
-
Sunday (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★★
Like its lead character, Sunday Reed, the play has opinions and is more than happy to share them.
-
Interview: Director Gary Abrahams on Yentl. “Sometimes you need to be self destructive to become who you’re meant to be.”
I got to have a brief chat with director Gary Abrahams who took a break from directing his new play to answer some of my questions about Yentl at the Sydney Opera House.
-
Ruins أطلال (Belvoir 25a) ★★★★
It’s quite rare that I watch a piece of independent theatre and leave pondering its beauty.
-
Frankenstein (Theatre Royal) ★★★★
This is wide-screen theatre with an almost computer game sensibility to storytelling… and it’s a lot of fun.
-
Seventeen (Seymour Centre) ★★★
It’s the duality that makes Seventeen something special.
-
All Boys (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
As a piece of independent theatre, All Boys is instantly impressive. For a budget-tight show full of debuts and recent drama school grads it is extraordinary. This is just great theatre.
