Community Theatre

Wollongong Workshop Theatre is bringing a set of local one-act plays to the stage in August 2023. Written by Illawarra playwright David Sharpe, Sharpies is a smorgasbord of eight one-act plays in one show:

Maggie & Miklos: A reclusive widow goes on an unexpected rescue mission.

Chain of Events: A chance discovery makes an ordinary couple turn to crime.

Mrs Smith of Sydney: An aging rock star meets an old friend with a new story.

Meet the Tudor Queens as you’ve never seen them before in Ladies Who Wait, a black comedy premiering at the Subiaco Arts Centre in August 2023.

It’s execution day for Anne Boleyn and she’s got some visitors. There’s Jane, the next woman lining up to marry Henry VIII, and her predecessor Catherine. Throw in her unlikely ladies in waiting, Alice and Agnes, and it’s a rather unconventional final morning for the soon-to-be-late Queen Anne…

Themes of aging, family relationships, teenage rebellion and marital breakdown are tempered by those of love, kindness and forgiveness in Debra Oswald’s immersive play, Mr Bailey’s Minder.

To be staged from August 3rd to 13th by St Jude’s Players, Brighton, SA, the play is centred around its principal characters of Leo Bailey, a renowned artist and Therese, his minder, and enhanced throughout by the discussion of Leo’s art.

Enjoy an evening of “snack-sized” short plays written by some of Henry Lawson Theatre’s (HLT) talented members alongside Australian and international playwrights.
