BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN Opens in São Paulo in Only the Second Official Stage Production Worldwide
by Claudio Erlichman - Jan 6, 2026

One of the most powerful love stories of modern times arrives on Brazilian stages. Brokeback Mountain makes its São Paulo debut at Teatro Itália on January 14, marking only the second official stage production of the work worldwide. Adapted by Ashley Robinson from Annie Proulx’s acclaimed short story, the musical revisits the intense, unspoken romance between cowboys Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar in 1960s rural America. Directed by Moacyr Góes, the Brazilian production stars Marcéu Pierrotti and Júlio Oliveira and features an original score by Dan Gillespie Sells. Following a highly praised London run, the show blends music and drama to explore love, repression, intolerance, and the lasting cost of silence.

Review: CAROL at State Theatre Centre
by David Bravos - Nov 30, 2025

Tis the season, it seems. Whilst your normal Christmas show may gloss over the uglier side of Christmas, CAROL leans into it, allowing the festive season to be anything but. A belligerent Santa, a family that can’t be held together with any amount of wrapping tape, and a life falling apart, all come to the fore, with a backdrop of a Christmas that may not be pretty, but is certainly quite familiar to many. With some cheeky humour and warmth to rival a scorching summer, CAROL is the Christmas present you didn’t know you wanted.
