Sydney Theatre Company's latest offering, ARMS AND THE MAN, blends George Bernard Shaw's commentary on the absurdity of the glorification of war and conventions of society with a visual feast of physical comedy and bright white sets.
Sydney Theatre Company's (STC) Artistic Director, Andrew Upton, has announced the 2016 season, the last of which he will program before the position is handed over to Jonathan Church at the end of 2015.
Sydney Theatre Company presents the George Bernard Shaw classic, Arms and the Man, at Sydney Opera House from 14 September 2015. With a cast featuring Andrea Demetriades, Mitchell Butel, Charlie Cousins, Deborah Kennedy and William Zappa, director Richard Cottrell collaborates with the design team of Michael Scott-Mitchell, Julie Lynch and Damien Cooper to create a sumptuous fairytale version of 19th century Bulgaria.
Kate Mulvany has been announced as the latest recipient of STC's Patrick White Playwrights' Fellowship at a special event at The Wharf on Friday 22 May. Now in its fifth year, the Fellowship is a position for an established playwright whose work has been produced professionally in Australia within the last four years. Mulvany receives $25,000 in recognition of her body of work and previous artistic achievements. As well as including a commission from STC which she will develop during the year-long tenure, the Fellowship provides opportunities for her to share her skills with other playwrights and artists.
Artists confirmed for Andrew Upton's seventh season (his second programmed as solo Artistic Director) at Sydney Theatre Company in 2015 include many of Australia's top theatrical talents: Cate Blanchett, Jacqueline McKenzie, Robyn Nevin, Susie Porter, Richard Roxburgh, Geoffrey Rush, Helen Thomson, Hugo Weaving, Ursula Yovich and many more in a program boasting directors such as Neil Armfield, Leticia Ca?ceres, Richard Cottrell, John Crowley, Pamela Rabe and STC's Andrew Upton, Sarah Goodes and Kip Williams.
