The hotel restaurant of the old British TV hit, Faulty Towers, is perfect creation for this madcap Dining Experience, with lookalikes Basil, Sybil and Manuel serving our meals with their signature appalling service. 

After 25 years, there are now half a dozen versions of this show in hotels and theatre spaces around the world, yet with its vaudevillian carry-on,  Faulty remains a distinctly British Experience.

Christie Whelan Browne proudly announces her goal in Life in Plastic is to empower the women in the audience to love themselves, and we are with her all the way!

Her show Life in Plastic is a tribute to women, to their resilience and the sisterhood. We journey with her for an hour through her life, which has been full of joys but also full of many difficult times. The empathy from the audience was palpable.

This co-production of Coppelia by Queensland Ballet and West Australian Ballet has something for everyone. Based on the gothic stories of ETA Hoffman, there is a macabre fairytale featuring a lifelike doll created by a reclusive doctor; a cheeky love story told with jealous young lovers straight out of Shakespeare central casting; a village of flirtatious young couples with dance-offs to rival Hollywood-style Seven Brides for Seven Brothers energy; and, to top it all off, a boisterous football match!

Classic plays are held in esteem for a reason, and it is always a pleasure to see a well performed classic play hit our local stages. Garrick’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s much-loved Pygmalion also features some brand-new talent, and it is great to see some new faces on stage.
