Beanstalk is a gorgeous piece of family entertainment that has returned  to Spare Parts Puppet Theatre these school holidays to delight a whole new cohort of children. Written and performed by Sam Longley, it tells the story of Jack and the Beanstalk from the Giant’s point of view, revealing lots more about The Giant and his world in the process.

Mamma Mia! Here we go again. With many productions of Mamma Mia! In Perth in the last decade or so, you might think that this city would have lost their enthusiasm for this ABBA tribute musical. HAMA’s latest big production, playing at the Regal Theatre, proves that there are still plenty of people keen to see this show again, and HAMA is ready with a well-produced, well directed musical, peopled with a fabulous cast.

Hir is a wild, confronting play about a decaying middle American family of four, each groping through some transition.

Disgraced soldier Isaac arrives back from Afghanistan to find his once orderly family in complete chaos - clothes strewn everywhere, the kitchen abandoned, walls pitted with holes and his once controlling Dad, Arnold, sleeping in a cardboard box.

The first performance of The Seven Stages of Grieving, thirty years ago, was seen as a landmark production for Aboriginal Theatre. This acclaimed play has been added to Drama and English curriculums, as its complex writing and multiple themes allow for excellent discussion and unpacking, This brand new production from Yirra Yaakin marks the first time this play has been performed by an Aboriginal Theatre company, and is a beautiful, heartfelt production.
