DIRTY BIRDS is a joyful and thought-provoking meander through a series of scenes as navigated by sisters who run the full breadth of feelings between siblings, from love and longing through to rivalry and indifference. This may be their first time sharing the pen and the stage, but if DIRTY BIRDS is anything to go by, we hope it's not their last.

Explosive, violent, urgent, and hugely physical.

Artistic Director & CEO Brett Sheehy has unveiled his final season for Melbourne Theatre Company – a program of 11 stellar productions including both new Australian and critically acclaimed international works.

Director Kate Champion presents a crisp expression of HONOUR, Joanna Murray-Smith’s study of the breakdown of a relationship based on the seductive nature of a power and influence imbalance. 

HONOUR, a play by Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith, will open at Ensemble Theatre on April 23. 

Kate Champion’s (Director) presentation of Kendall Feaver’s adaptation of Miles Franklin’s MY BRILLIANT CAREER proves that the Australian classic still holds a relevance in the 21st century. 

Loren Hunter is a star! She has dazzled as Liza Minnelli in The Boy from Oz and sizzled as Seymour in Six. Hunter has also had the lucrative opportunity to appear in five world premier productions; Moonshadow, King Kong, Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom The Musical, Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical and Evie May. Both Hunter and I are WAAPA alumni, so we had a lot of catching up to do when I scheduled our Zoom call. As a Melbournian though, I did find myself envious of her vibrant Brisbane background.

RoomWorks a?" the socially distanced digital scratch night presented by ATYP and Nightingale Content a?" was announced in June as a program created to bring young emerging artists throughout Australia together during this time apart.
