SUMMARY:SWIC Theatre Group – 16 March 2024 – ‘Holding the Man’
DESCRIPTION:The love story which defined a generation\, and a classic of the Australian stage\, in a brand new production. \nADAPTED BY TOMMY MURPHY FROM THE BOOK BY TIMOTHY CONIGRAVE \nDIRECTED BY EAMON FLACK \nAt a Jesuit boys’ school in 1970s Australia\, Tim’s eye falls on the footy captain\, John. To their mutual incredulity\, they fall in love – a love that lasts as they ‘and the society around them’ change\, mature. \nWhen they both test positive to something called HIV\, dreams\, liberations\, boundless possibilities vanish into the ether. But Tim and John have each other\, and they’ll need to hold on tight for what’s to come. \nDeeply felt\, frank and moving\, Tim Conigrave’s memoir of living and dying changed Australia. Tommy Murphy’s 2006 adaptation became an instant hit\, and brought a new audience to this heartfelt and laugh-out-loud-in-the-sadness story of queer identity and the quirks of love. \nDATE: Saturday 16 March 2024 \nTIME: 2.00pm (MATINEE) \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir St Theatre\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: $79 Seniors + Booking Fee \nTheatre Group Co-Convenors\, Cherry Spoor and Judith Nguyen\, have purchased seats F32\, F33  \nTo buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au\, or ring the box office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-PERFORMANCE (Optional): You are welcome to join Co-Convenors Judith and Cherry for a casual lunch at 12 noon at Mai Viet\, a casual Asian/Vietnamese restaurant at 279 Cleveland Street\, Redfern.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘The Seagull’ at Roslyn Packer Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Anton Chekhov\nAdapted by Andrew Upton\nDirected by Imara Savage \n  \nWhen life imitates art \nSigrid Thornton returns to the Sydney Theatre Company as the larger-than-life diva Arkadina\, in a new adaptation from Australia’s greatest interpreter of Chekhov and former STC Artistic Director\, Andrew Upton. \nIn a splendid country house beside a beautiful lake\, love triangles\, intrigue and thwarted egos are running amok. The ageing starlet Irina Arkadina has arrived for a romantic getaway with her much younger lover\, the novelist Trigorin. Arkadina’s son\, the struggling playwright Konstantin\, is besotted with a beautiful young ingenue from the next house over\, Nina. When a flirtation blossoms between Nina and Trigorin\, jealousy and ambition throw the whole party into various states of crisis. \nDirector Imara Savage last wowed STC audiences with her revelatory production Saint Joan (2018). In The Seagull\, Savage and Upton will bring Chekhov’s wry and offbeat sense of humour to the fore and present a beautiful investigation of the power of art and the complicated personalities that make it happen. \nThe first of Chekhov’s great masterpieces\, The Seagull is a rich\, funny and moving play that is unmissable for anyone who loves theatre. In the hands of these extraordinary artists\, we are in for something very special. \nApprox. duration 2 hrs 30 mins (including interval)\nContent Suicide \nDATE: Saturday 2 December 2023 \nTIME: 1.30pm (MATINEE) \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Tickets are A Reserve $109\, B Reserve $104 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased seats D11 and D12 (A Reserve) \nTo buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com \nPRE-THEATRE DRINKS/SNACKS & BOARDS (Optional): There will also be the option to join us for pre-theatre drinks/snacks & boards at The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf at 12 noon.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – 8 November 2023 – ‘The Dictionary of Lost Words’ - STC
DESCRIPTION:Adapted by Verity Laughton from the novel by Pip Williams\nDirected by Jessica Arthur \nDiscover the secret power of words \nPip Williams’ award-winning New York Times bestseller and book club favourite\, The Dictionary of Lost Words\, is brought to vivid life in a new adaptation for the stage by Verity Laughton and directed by one of Australia’s best directors\, Jessica Arthur. \nIt’s 1886 and the very first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is being compiled. Four-year-old Esme Nicoll has a front row seat. Well\, she’s hiding under the sorting table\, anyway. As her father and his male colleagues decide which words stay and which go\, Esme collects the discarded (often gendered) scraps to compile her own far more radical\, far more magical dictionary. \nA sweeping historical tale in the spirit of The Harp in the South\, The Dictionary of Lost Words follows Esme from her childhood in the 1880s\, into adulthood at the height of the women’s suffrage movement and the beginning of the First World War. \nThis novel has captured the imagination of hundreds of thousands of readers around the globe\, and was recommended by book club trendsetters like Reese Witherspoon. In 2023\, Verity Laughton’s adaptation unfurls this beautiful and transportive reflection on the love between a daughter and her father\, at a time when the women’s rights movement was first gaining traction\, into a delectable and warm night of theatre. \nApprox. duration 2 hrs 20 mins (including interval)\nContent Strong language \nDATE: Wednesday 8 November 2023 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Drama Theatre\, Sydney Opera House \nTICKETS: Single Tickets – Adult A Reserve $114\, Seniors Concession $109 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets J6 and J7 \n To buy your tickets visit https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/whats-on \nPRE-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for pre-theatre Drinks and Chat at the Sydney Opera Bar\, on the Lower Concourse Level at 6.00pm. \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au \nRSVP BY: 1 November 2023 \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2023 \nOur remaining play for the year is shown below. \n\n\n\nDate & Day\nPlay\nType\nTheatre\n   Time\n Seats (Convenors)\n\n\n2 December (Saturday)\nThe Seagull (MATINEE)\nNew interpretation of Chekhov’s masterpiece\nRoslyn Packer Theatre (STC)\n1.30pm\nD11\, D12 (A Reserve)

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘Blaque Showgirls’ – Griffin/SBW Stables Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Plumage! Puns! Political incorrectness gone mad! \nA lonely kid in rural Australia\, fair-skinned Sarah Jane Jones is deathly sure of two things: 1.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ at Roslyn Packer Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Oscar Wilde \nDirected by Sarah Giles \n Hilarious\, naughty and Wilde \nThe fabulous Helen Thomson (Death of a Salesman\, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis) is back in this outrageous\, entertaining and brilliantly camp new vision of one of theatre’s greatest comedies. \nOscar Wilde’s dazzling wit meets the lush and bracingly contemporary style of acclaimed director Sarah Giles. This production will see The Importance of Being Earnest’s skewering of Victorian London’s silliness and snobbery in what promises to be an unforgettable night of hilarity. \nAlgernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing are two best friends who are both living double lives. In the city they’re playboys with a libertine reputation\, but in the country they assume pious alter egos to get away from it all. Things get sticky when love enters the mix and the men have to keep track of who they’re pretending to be and when. Floating haughtily above it all is the withering Lady Bracknell – played by Thomson – Victorian London’s socialite extraordinaire and the gatekeeper of all things ‘high society’. \nThe gold standard of theatrical comedy\, The Importance of Being Earnest is a razor-sharp and endlessly relevant reminder of our tendency to get hung up on small trivialities while the important things in life pass us by. \nApprox. duration 2 hrs 20 mins (including interval) \nDATE: Thursday 14 September 2023 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Tickets are $111.00 (Seniors) \nJudith and Cherry have purchased seats B26 and B27 \nTo buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com \nPRE-THEATRE DRINKS/SNACKS (Optional): There will also be the option to join us for pre-theatre drinks/small food or boards at The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - "The Weekend" - Belvoir Street Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Wood – Original Author\nSue Smith – Adapter\nSarah Goodes – Director\n\nFour women have known each other for decades\, and have a friendship that goes with it – good-humoured\, caring\, and forthright when required. But Sylvie has died\, and when the remaining three come together to pack up her beach house\, they find maybe they haven’t been as honest – or as good friends – as they thought. \nAdele (Belinda Giblin)\, a once-well-known actress\, Wendy (Melita Durisic)\, a high-profile academic\, and Jude (Toni Scanlan)\, who ran one of the city’s most celebrated restaurants\, learn things they should have learned years ago. There’s a difference between growing old\, and growing wise. \nAnd at the heart of it all\, an old dog keeps them company\, silently bearing witness to the folly of age\, and the warmth of true friendship. \nCharlotte Wood’s novel really struck a chord with many readers\, so when a playwright as fine as Sue Smith approached us about turning it into a play for Belvoir we jumped. This is a special play – moving\, honest\, thoughtful\, and a gift for three of our finest actors. This is heartland stuff. – Eamon \nThe Weekend is the proud recipient of the Blake Beckett Trust Award. \nDATE: Thursday 10 August 2023 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir Street Theatre\, Gadigal Country\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills\, NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: Seniors Concession $72 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets F31 and F32 \n To buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au or ring the box office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for pre-theatre Drinks and Snacks downstairs at Belvoir at 6.00pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au \nRSVP BY: 7 August 2023 \n************************************************************************************* \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2023 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for the rest of 2023\, below are the dates and selected plays that we are yet to see.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘On the Beach’ at Roslyn Packer Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Nevil Shute\nAdapted for the stage by Tommy Murphy\nDirected by Kip Williams \nStanding on the edge \nTwo of Australia’s great theatre-makers\, Artistic Director Kip Williams and playwright Tommy Murphy (Foxtel’s The Twelve\, Holding the Man) join forces for this world premiere STC commission: a vast\, poetic and haunting story of community\, dignity and love in dark times. \nIn 1957\, Nevil Shute’s classic novel On the Beach introduced the world to an uncanny post-apocalyptic vision that sees Australia as one of the last surviving outposts of civilisation on a planet destroyed by nuclear fallout. Two years later it was transformed into a classic film starring Gregory Peck\, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire. \nA small group of friends in Melbourne – some local\, some survivors from the US Navy – are living out their eerily prosaic lives and loves in the wake of World War III. But when a mysterious distress call rings out across the Pacific Ocean\, the characters are called to choose between duty to the ones they love and duty to the human race. \nIn the spirit of past productions like Chimerica and The Harp in the South: Part One and Part Two\, Williams brings his sumptuous\, innovative style to match Murphy’s beautiful\, soulful writing. On the Beach is a new and gripping portrait of Australian society\, a prescient insight into the times we are living through and a deeply poignant reverie on the indestructible power of human connection. \nApprox. duration 2 hrs 40 mins (including interval)\nContent Suicide \nDATE: Wednesday 19 July 2023 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Tickets are $65.00 and $61.00 for this PREVIEW PERFORMANCE \nJudith and Cherry have purchased seats C19 and C20 \nTo buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com \nPRE-THEATRE DRINKS/SNACKS (Optional): There will also be the option to join us for pre-theatre drinks/snacks at a bar in Walsh Bay. Please advise if you are interested in participating. \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au by Monday 10 July 2023 \n************************************************* \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2023 \nTo enable you to plan your diary\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2023.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘Julia’ – Drama Theatre\, Sydney Opera House (STC)
DESCRIPTION:Playwright – Joanna Murray-Smith \nDirector – Sarah Goodes \nCast – Justine Clarke \nNot now\, not ever \nIn 2012\, Australia’s first female prime minister\, Julia Gillard\, gave a speech that sent shockwaves around the world. \nNow\, 10 years later\, one of Australia’s most esteemed and celebrated playwrights\, Joanna Murray-Smith\, brings the human story behind that speech to the stage. \nJulia is an extraordinary new play that will see Justine Clarke (Children of the Sun) embody the life and career that led to the ‘misogyny speech’\, in a phenomenal performance directed by Helpmann Award-winner Sarah Goodes (The Children). \nThis is both an intimate and compelling insight into the person behind the public mask\, and a reflection on the experience of women in contemporary politics. Combining genuine excerpts from Gillard’s speech with Murray-Smith’s incredible dramatic imagination\, this play is also a thrilling coming together of history and art. \nDATE: Saturday 29 April 2023 (MATINEE) \nTIME: 1.30pm (90 mins\, no interval) \nVENUE: Drama Theatre\, Sydney Opera House \nTICKETS: Standard Adult $93\, Seniors Concession $89 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets Q3 and Q4 \n To buy your tickets visit https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/whats-on \nPOST-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for post-theatre Drinks and Chat at the Sydney Opera Bar\, on the Lower Concourse Level. \nRSVP TO: Cherry Spoor at bungalowbrennan@yahoo.com \nRSVP BY: 24 April 2023 \n************************************************************************* \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2023 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2023\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for 2023.

DESCRIPTION:For our first theatre outing for 2023\, we will go to the Ensemble Theatre to see the long-awaited world premiere of writer and broadcaster\, Melanie Tait’s (‘The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race’) thought-provoking\, sharp comedy\, A BROADCAST COUP. \nA major highlight of the 2023 Sydney Festival\, A BROADCAST COUP incisively delves into the abuse of power and lack of accountability from controversial public figures. \nCut-throat journalist Jez Connell is out for her next sting. It’s been a year since she brought down one of TV’s most lauded stars for behaving badly\, and now she’s got Michael King\, the top-rated darling of public radio\, in her sights. This time\, it’s personal. \nMelanie Tait says – “This play draws on my decade plus working in the media – from things I would see and hear across networks and\, to be honest\, just thought were part of working in that arena. It was only after the Me Too reckoning I began to see that some behaviour was unacceptable and could even change.” \nDirected by Janine Watson. \nDATE: Wednesday 15 February 2023 \nTIME: 7.30pm (90 minutes\, no interval) \nVENUE: The Ensemble Theatre\, 78 McDougall Street\, Kirribilli NSW 2061 \nTICKETS: Standard Adult $80\, Seniors Concession $77 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets F17 and F18  \nTo buy your tickets visit https://boxoffice.ensemble.com.au/ or call (02) 8918 3460 \nPRE-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for pre-theatre Dinner at Bayly’s Bistro \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au indicating whether you would like to join us for dinner at 5.45pm\, as we need to book a table \n*********************************************************** \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2023 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2023\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for 2023.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'The Caretaker'
DESCRIPTION:This month we will have to pleasure of seeing Harold Pinter’s ‘The Caretaker’. Many of us will have studied this play at secondary school – or even taught it! \nIt’s a literary masterpiece that delves into the turbulent relationships between a homeless man and two polar opposite brothers. In this extraordinarily mischievous comedy\, Pinter cranks up the tension\, piles on the laughs and teases out the emotional foibles of three lonely men. \nAston asks down-and-out Davies to be a live-in caretaker. Davies leaps at the chance to change his fortunes\, but the trouble is he doesn’t know what a caretaker should do\, especially in a room filled with junk. When Aston’s manipulative brother Mike shows up\, the power struggle begins. Why does Aston collect all this stuff? Will Davies ever get a pair of decent shoes? And who will fix the drip in the ceiling? \nDirector Iain Sinclair (‘A View from the Bridge’) teams up once more with Darren Gilshenan (‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’) for this explosive\, compelling theatrical event. \nDATE: Wednesday\, 2 November 2022 \nTIME: 7.30pm – 2 hours 20 minutes (including interval) \nVENUE: The Ensemble Theatre\, 78 McDougall Street\, Kirribilli NSW 2061 \nTICKETS: Standard Adult $80\, Seniors Concession $77 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets E21 and E22 \nTo buy your tickets visit https://boxoffice.ensemble.com.au/ or call (02) 8918 3460 \nPRE-THEATRE DINNER (Optional): Join us at Bayly’s Bistro (in the theatre) at 6.00pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au if you wish to join is for dinner as we will need to book a table \nRSVP BY: Monday 24 October 2022 \n

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'Looking for Alibrandi'
DESCRIPTION:This month we are going to enjoy a Saturday matinee at Belvoir\, enabling our members who have weekday commitments to attend. \nBy Vidya Rajan\, based on the book by Melina Marchetta. Directed by Stephen Nicolazzo. \nThe beloved novel of migration\, growing up\, and Sydney – now a play! \nThree generations of women. The Italian-Australian experience. A tale of Sydney. A much-loved modern classic novel\, a ground-breaking film\, and now at Belvoir\, a simply great night out. \nIt’s the last year of school\, and 17-year- old Josephine Alibrandi can’t wait for her future to begin. If only she can get past the world of her Nonna\, holding on to the values of the old country; and the world of her Mum\, full of care and secrets. It’s time to take her place in the real world\, beyond her family\, beyond being an Alibrandi. \nBut this is the year Josie gets to know her father. This is the year she falls in love. And this is the year she uncovers the truth – and finds the Alibrandi she has been searching for. \nWe’re really excited to see how this classic of first and second generation Italian migration plays now. It has a bit of everything – teen romance\, coming-of-age\, tragi-comedy in a very Australian vein. Also\, it’s wonderful to have Stephen Nicolazzo directing for the Belvoir stage – he’ll bring a very Alibrandi flair – Eamon \nDATE: Saturday 8 October 2022 \nTIME: 2.00pm \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir Street Theatre\, Gadigal Country\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills\, NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: $75 (Seniors) \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets F27 and F28 \nTo buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au or ring the box office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-THEATRE SNACKS/DRINKS (Optional): Join us at the downstairs Theatre Bar for snacks and chat before the performance at 1.00pm. \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au \nRSVP BY: 1 October 2022 \n*************************************************************************** \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2022 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2022\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2022.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'Tell Me I'm Here'
DESCRIPTION:This month we are in for a special late Sunday afternoon treat at Belvoir\, enabling our members who have weekday commitments to attend. \nBy Veronica Nadine Gleeson\, based on the book by Anne Deveson\nDirected by Leticia Cáceres \nAnne’s life – the familiar juggle of marriage\, career\, emotions\, chaos – is thrown off-balance when her son Jonathan begins speaking oddly\, standing strangely\, flashing into irrationality and rage. Is it just a phase\, part of growing up? The years pass\, and it’s clear\, Anne’s son has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. But putting a name to it is one thing – getting attention\, getting help is another. Even the strongest families\, the most steadfast parents\, buckle under such stress. \nHeart-rending\, exquisitely touching\, a play which speaks things which normally aren’t spoken. A play about getting on with life\, before it’s too late. \n‘Tell Me I’m Here’ is the proud recipient of the Blake Beckett Trust Award. \nDATE: Sunday 21 August 2022 (Preview session) \nTIME: 6.30pm \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir Street Theatre\, Gadigal Country\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills\, NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: Preview $57 \nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets B20 and B21 \nTo buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au or ring the box office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-THEATRE SNACKS/DRINKS (Optional): Join us at the downstairs Theatre Bar for snacks and chat before the performance at 5.30pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au \nRSVP BY: 17 August 2022 \n*************************************************************************** \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2022 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2022\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2022.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' - Roslyn Packer Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Oscar Wilde \nAdapted and directed by Kip Williams \nA breath-taking reimagining of an Oscar Wilde classic \nOscar Wilde’s century-old moral fable\, packed with witticisms\, is as devilishly wicked today as on its debut. \nSeeing himself in a dazzling new portrait\, an exquisite young man makes a Faustian wish for eternal youth. Dorian Gray throws himself into a life of wanton luxury\, drifting from the pampered salons of Victorian London to the darkest recesses of the capital\, and revelling in the splendour of his beauty which remains forever golden.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'Wayside Bride' at Belvoir
DESCRIPTION:This month we are in for a special late Sunday afternoon treat at Belvoir\, enabling our members who have weekday commitments to attend. \nIn a street out the back of Kings Cross is a very special place – the Wayside Chapel. It’s a haven for the poor\, the excluded\, the misfits. It’s a place of faith and a place of love. And it’s a place where people could declare their love – sometimes in the face of fierce resistance from family\, from society\, from the church hierarchy. It’s a play of quiet heroism and heartache. \nWritten by Alana Valentine and co-directed by Hannah Goodwin and Eamon Flack\, ‘Wayside Bride’ is based around stories that Belvoir asked from people who had married at the Wayside Chapel. \nCommissioned and developed by Belvoir with the assistance of Wayside Chapel\, the Noffs Foundation\, the City of Sydney and Griffin Theatre Company. \nDATE: Sunday 10 April 2022 (Preview session) \nTIME: 6.30pm \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir Street Theatre\, Gadigal Country\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills\, NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: Preview $52\nJudith and Cherry have purchased tickets G33 and G34\nTo buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au or ring the Box Office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-THEATRE SNACKS/DRINKS (Optional): Join us at the downstairs Theatre Bar for snacks and chat before the performance at 5.30pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au \nRSVP BY: 5 April 2022 \n***************************************************************************\nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2022\nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2022\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2022.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'White Pearl' - Wharf 1 Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Anchuli Felicia King\nDirected by Priscilla Jackman \nThere’s no such thing as bad publicity… \nFrom the brilliant mind of Anchuli Felicia King\, White Pearl was a runaway smash on its 2019 Sydney premiere with co-producer Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta. After a hit season at Queensland Theatre in 2021\, this knockout production will return in 2022\, this time at The Wharf. \nBehind the sleek and unblemished facade of CleardayTM cosmetics — a market leader in Asia’s booming beauty industry — the scars of deep-seated prejudice are waiting to re-emerge. A team of young and ambitious women from across Asia is working to generate buzz for their new skin-whitening cream ‘White Pearl’. The problem? An ad in development has leaked early and it’s making headlines for all the wrong reasons. As views skyrocket and the ad is shared around the world\, the team races against the clock to get the situation under control\, to save their jobs and to lay the blame squarely elsewhere. \nWith razor-sharp dialogue\, nail-biting tension\, and caustic wit\, this rollercoaster of a production takes a nuanced swipe at cancel culture and toxic corporations\, exploring intra-Asian politics\, 21st century racism and the dark side of going viral. \nApprox. duration 1 hr 25 mins (no interval)\nContent Strong language\, adult themes\, sexual references and themes of racial prejudice. White Pearl dissects aspects of race and culture and contains content that may be confronting for some audience members. \n​​DATE: Wednesday 30 March 2022 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Wharf 1 Theatre\, Wharf 4/5\, 15 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay\, Sydney\, NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $70\, B Reserve $66\, Seniors cardholder $70 \nPurchase your tickets at https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/whats-on or by phone at the Box office on (02) 9250 1777 \nCherry and I have booked our tickets for Seats K5 and K6. \nPRE-THEATRE: (Optional): Join Judith and Cherry for pre-theatre Dinner at ‘The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf’ at 6.00pm \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au\, indicating whether you would like to join us for pre-theatre dinner\, as booking a table is required \nRSVP BY: Monday 21 March 2022 \n**************************************** \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2022 \nTo enable you to plan your diary\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2022.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'The Dismissal' - Sydney Theatre Company (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:A world-premiere\, rollicking new musical account of Australia’s great constitutional crisis. \nBook by Blake Erickson & Jay James-Moody\nMusic & Lyrics by Laura Murphy\nConceived and Directed by Jay James-Moody \nWorld Premiere \nIt’s time! \nCanberra\, 11 November 1975. As Gough Whitlam delivers his iconic speech decrying his dismissal as Prime Minister\, a mighty crowd of reporters throngs the steps of Parliament House. Chief amongst them is one of the 1970s most iconic larrikins\, Norman Gunston. \n​Fast forward to Sydney\, 2021 and the Gold Logie winner and Wollongong’s favourite son returns\, played by the hilarious Matthew Whittet\, to narrate a rollicking\, razor-sharp musical account of Australia’s great constitutional crisis. Fans of political satire will revel in this all singing\, all dancing\, all mud-slinging retelling of Canberra’s most controversial moment. \n​The Dismissal revives the full rogues gallery of 70s Australian politics: ambitious Whitlam\, seductive Malcolm Fraser\, duplicitous silver-fox Sir John Kerr\, and even Her Majesty QEII as you’ve never seen her. \n​The Dismissal is equal parts toe-tapping time travel and a nuanced commentary on Australia’s place in the world today. With unimpeachable wit and a cracking soundtrack\, this world- premiere reckoning for the nation’s soul is set to be a sensational night out. \nDATE: Tuesday 23 November 2021 \nTIME: 6.30pm – 9.00pm \nVENUE: Drama Theatre\, Sydney Opera House \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $96; Seniors Cardholder $90 + Booking Fee.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - ‘The Lifespan of a Fact’ (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:Thrilling\, stylish\, and hyper-intelligent\, this hit Broadway comedy investigates the nature of truth in a post-truth era. \nBy David Murrell & Gordon Farrell and Jeremy Kareken\nDirected by Anne-Louise Sarks \nStarring Sigrid Thornton and Charles Wu \nPresented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Australasia). \nFinding truth in the post-truth era \nIn her debut performance with the Sydney Theatre Company\, Australian legend Sigrid Thornton will lead this thrilling\, stylish and hyper-intelligent hit Broadway comedy that tackles the great question of our time: true or false? \nJim has finally made it – an internship at a prestigious magazine and a once-in-a-lifetime assignment: the chance to fact check a new essay by a writer he idolises. \nBut as he methodically begins his task\, holding each detail up to the light\, he discovers that separating fact from fiction is not such an easy job. Performed by Charles Wu (The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui)\, Jim’s dogged pursuit of the facts is pitted against the titanic ego of the essay’s author. Thornton plays the shrewd\, sharp-tongued editor who manoeuvres the combatants while pushing the article through to print. \nFor fans of The Newsroom and The West Wing\, The Lifespan of a Fact is a timely investigation of the old truism “never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Directed by Anne-Louise Sarks (Avalanche)\, this high-octane production questions how\, in our age of fake news and big data\, we’ll ever get to a world that’s post-post-truth. \nApprox. duration 1hr 35mins (no interval)\nContent Infrequent strong language\, suicide themes \nDATE: Tuesday 19 October 2021 \nTIME: 6.30pm – 8.00pm \nVENUE: Drama Theatre\, Sydney Opera House \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $86; Seniors Cardholder $81 + Booking Fee.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'A Raisin in the Sun' (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:An iconic work of American theatre\, a testament to the power of family\, and a hymn to the Black experience. \nBy Lorraine Hansberry\nDirected by Shari Sebbens (the new Resident Director) \nLorraine Hansberry wrote A Raisin in the Sun when she was just 29 years-old and the play swiftly became a mainstay of the modern theatre canon. When it premiered in 1959\, the play was the first by an African American woman to be shown on Broadway and it continues to challenge and move audiences generations later. \nLiving in Chicago during the 1950s and optimistic about rising above the injustices that have shaped their lives\, the five members of the Younger family are all looking for ways to improve their lot: some through activism\, some through fortune\, and some through simple acts of self-determination. The arrival of a change of circumstance – in the form of a life insurance cheque – gives the close-knit family a chance to consider the possibility of a better life. But the distance between dreams and reality proves further than any of them anticipated. \nThis production\, by the Sydney Theatre Company\, marks the first time ever that A Raisin in the Sun will be performed on an Australian mainstage. It stars Zahra Newman and Bert La Bonté. \nApprox. duration – 2hrs 40mins (including interval)\nContent – Infrequent strong language \nDATE: Tuesday 5 October 2021 \nTIME: 6.30pm (pre-theatre 5.30pm) \nVENUE: Wharf 1 Theatre\, Wharf 4/5\, 15 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay\, Sydney NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: Adult A Reserve $86; Seniors Cardholder $81 + Booking Fee.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'A Chorus Line' (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:“Blood\, sweat and tears don’t date\,” says director and choreographer Amy Campbell\, who will be bringing to life at Darlinghurst Theatre Company\, a thrilling reimagining of one of the most iconic dance spectacles of our time – A Chorus Line. \nThis iconic dance musical was ground-breaking when it premiered in 1975. It will be the first time that a professional Australian production of the show features entirely new choreography. Campbell has rethought the piece to reflect the dance-styles and life of the artist in the 21st Century. \nSet on the bare stage of a Broadway theatre\, A Chorus Line centres on 17 dancers who are desperately auditioning for eight chorus roles in a musical. The show unfolds through a series of vignettes\, giving us a glimpse into the personalities of the people auditioning\, revealing the life experiences that propelled them to become dancers\, along with their hopes\, fears\, insecurities and frustrations. The show famously ends with an epic kick line as they don glitzy costumes\, having previously worn rehearsal gear. \nDATE: Wednesday 15 September 2021 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Eternity Playhouse\, 39 Burton St\, Darlinghurst NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: A Reserve $72 – $88; B Reserve ($65 – $79) + Booking Fee.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:By Oscar Wilde \nAdapted and directed by Kip Williams \nDon’t miss the return season of this smash hit\, in which Sydney Theatre Company gives this classic story a Wilde twist. \nOscar Wilde’s century-old moral fable\, packed with witticisms\, is as devilishly wicked today as on its debut. \nSeeing himself in a dazzling new portrait\, an exquisite young man makes a Faustian wish for eternal youth. Dorian Gray throws himself into a life of wanton luxury\, drifting from the pampered salons of Victorian London to the darkest recesses of the capital\, and revelling in the splendour of his beauty which remains forever golden. Meanwhile\, the portrait – banished to an attic – becomes more and more grotesque. \nThis interpretation of Wilde’s only novel is adapted and directed by Artistic Director Kip Williams. Collaborating once again with Eryn Jean Norvill (Suddenly Last Summer\, Romeo and Juliet)\, Williams’ re-imagining will see Norvill performing every role in the story in an audacious cascade of theatrical transformations. The inventive use of live video that made Suddenly Last Summer and The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui so visually compelling will capture and amplify every move. \n“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.”  Lord Henry \nContent – Adult themes\, drug use \nDATE: Friday 20 August 2021 \nTIME: 7.30pm (approx. duration 2 hours\, no interval) \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nSEASON TICKET PRICES: Adult A Reserve $86\, Seniors cardholder $81 + Booking Fee \nCo-Convenors Judith and Cherry have purchased their tickets for Seats A20 and 21. \nTo buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com \nPRE-THEATRE DINNER (Optional): There will also be the option to join Judith and Cherry for a pre-theatre dinner at Walsh Bay Kitchen\, which adjoins the theatre\, at 6.00pm. We will book the table when we know the numbers. \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au by 13 August 2021 \n************************************************* \nTHEATRE GROUP – Looking Ahead in 2021 \nTo enable you to plan your diary for 2021\, below are the dates and selected plays for Theatre Group for the remainder of 2021.
