Les Miserables

From March 12

Live a little, comfort a little, cheer thyself a little.

In the forest of Arden, brothers, lovers, friends and foe are tricked, tried and tested in a pastoral pastiche of life, love and the whole damn thing. Join Rosalind as she goes undercover to right wrongs and in the process, develops a surprising insight into matters of the heart.

The Kransky Sisters

Sunday April 6th

Fresh off the ship in their packed up Morris, after sell-out seasons in the U.K, and New Zealand, The Kransky Sisters are unloding their baggage and bringing to you, their hit show, “Heard It On The Wireless”. Venturing far from the dusty curtained private world of their old family home in Esk, rural Queensland, Mourne, Eve, and their oddly reclusive, almost forgotten sibling, Dawn Kransky, bring you their darkly funny stories from across the countryside, and uniquely homespun versions of popular tunes heard on the old wireless. The combination of their strange behaviour, blinkered outlooks, superbly droll comic dialogue, and alluring downright hilarious brand of tune make for a night of sheer delight.

As You Like It

From Saturday, April 5

Live a little, comfort a little, cheer thyself a little. Follow the course to a place where running from loneliness, ageing and questioning loyalties gives way to friendship and a taste of love in a hostile, confusing world. In the forest of Arden, brothers, lovers, friends and foe are tricked, tried and tested in a pastoral pastiche of life, love and the whole damn thing. Join Rosalind as she goes undercover to right wrongs and in the process, develops a surprising insight into matters of the heart.
