2009 Add-ons

Now Playing - Closes 14 Feb 09 | Tickets from $30.00

Kafka's Monkey

Deeply theatrical, witty and absurd, Kafka’s Monkey places a profound and startling mirror in front of a modern-day audience and reveals a world in which humans appear apish and apes the more humane.

Opens 15 Apr 09 | Tickets from $40.00

Metamorphosis

Kafka’s terrifying but bizarrely comic story bursts on to the stage in a theatrically explosive new version by Artistic Director David Farr and actor/director Gísli Örn Gardarsson of Iceland’s acclaimed Vesturport Theatre.

Opens 22 Apr 09 | Tickets from $50.00

The Crucible

In this astounding modern classic, Arthur Miller chronicles the horrors and corruption of the Salem witch-trials of 1692. A powerful allegory for what Miller considered to be a witch-hunt in his own time – the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings – the play examines justice, injustice, honour and courage.

Opens 01 May 09 | Tickets from $30.00

Poppea

After triumphant, sell-out seasons in Vienna, Berlin and at the Edinburgh International Festival, it is now Sydney’s turn to experience Barrie Kosky's Poppea.

Opens 06 Aug 09 | Tickets from $57

Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Drawing heavily on elements of Commedia Dell’Arte, Stefo Nantsou’s (ZEAL THEATRE) production of Dario Fo’s brilliant political play will be a swirling, thunderous theatrical mayhem.

Opens 11 Sep 09 | Tickets from $30.00

The Wizard of Oz

As a tribute to the magic and originality of this enduring adventure, Windmill’s The Wizard of Oz will be a daring, flamboyant and exhilarating theatrical journey for the whole family. Full of imagination, and invigorated with some surprising twists, this is a celebration of the yellow brick road we all travel to find out just what we’re made of.

Opens 15 Oct 09 | Tickets from $30.00
