Synopsis:
Speaking In Tongues is an Australian play about the right and wrong of emotional conduct. Two married couples switch partners for the night. Who will have the courage for betrayal? Who will walk away?
A man weeps in the street after realising that his only love, long vanished, is alive and well – and has completely forgotten him.
A woman disappears on a lonely road, late at night, leaving ominous last words on her absent husband's answering machine; at the same time, a man covered in blood comes home and throws a woman's shoe into an adjacent empty lot.

Bookings:

Synopsis:
An unruly bunch of bright, funny senior boys in a British boarding school are – as such boys will be – in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university ... generally in that order. In all their efforts, they are helped and hindered, enlightened and bemused, by a maverick English teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways, and by a young history teacher who questions the methods, as well at the aim, of their schooling.
In The History Boys Alan Bennett evokes the special period and place that the sixth form represents in an English boy's life. In doing so, he raises – with gentle wit and pitch-perfect command of character - not only universal questions about the nature of history and how it is taught, but also questions about the purpose of education today.

The Last Days explores the often complex relationship between a man and his roots.
In the winter of his life, after the loss of his dear wife Rita, Gianni finds himself yearning for his beloved country of origin that he and his wife left behind after World War II.
During 50 years of living in Australia, Gianni established a successful business, and raised a family. But now alone and his children married, with children of their own, he finds himself facing the desire to spend his remaining days in the country of his origin. Opposed by family and friends, Gianni is determined to follow his dream. Is this a result of the loss of his dear wife, or is it a common desire that many migrants face in the evening of their lives?
This play opens the door for us to witness "The Last Days" of Gianni in Australia but, in so doing, seeks to ask the questions faced by many migrants universally.

This is the world premiere of The Last Days
