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 – ‘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.

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 - "The Real Thing" by Tom Stoppard
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be seeing Sydney Theatre Company’s production of The Real Thing. \nSimon Phillips returns to direct an irresistible cast in this hugely entertaining and deeply affecting modern classic about the search for love. \nThe Real Thing is playwright Tom Stoppard at his dazzling best.

They’ll soon find out. \nThrough the demise of two marriages\, the bloom of new relationships\, and the pain of infidelity\, Stoppard’s characters debate and dissect what love is\, what it gives and what it takes.
