Something's happening...

Breaking radio silence to express our sadness at the passing of Tonie-Rayne Steele. Tonie was a very talented young stage manager and we were lucky enough to work with her on The Rivers of China in 2014.

Our condolences to her partner, family and friends.

May she rest in Peace.

Phil, Martelle and everyone at Don't Look Away.

A wonderful resource.

Lovely to be mentioned in Suzy Goes See's best of 2017 along side some very impressive productions this year.

Best Supporting Actors: Andre de Vanny

Best New Writing: Phillip James Rouse NIGHT SLOWS DOWN

Congrats to all on a great year of theatre in Sydney.

"Like this website, many of these theatre productions, attract no significant financial reward to speak of. We do it all for love, and with the understanding that art is a natural, essential part of human existence. We refuse to let money alone decide the things we leave behind, choosing instead to pursue something infinitely more meaningful, and almost always more challenging than we had ever prepared ourselves for. It is an honour to be part of this wonderful landscape, and having the opportunity to help shape it into something better, is truly the most fulfilling vocation."

A celebration of the best work in theatre, Sydney 2017. All the lists, all the names, all the awards. Who’s in? Who’s out!

‘Absolutely deep and very moving’

Kind words from Dr Karl when he came and witnessed the ‘short sharp slap to the face’ that is NIGHT SLOWS DOWN.

Only 4 shows left! must close Saturday night.

Then it’s adios from us.

Science provides the answers but art is the moral compass, says Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. "But how exactly do the artists and scientists work together?"

We, as independent theatre companies and practitioners of Australia, stand in solidarity with all victims of sexual harassment and assault, in our industry, in all workplaces, and the wider community.

We want to end the culture of silence at all levels.
We are committed to zero tolerance of this behaviour in our rehearsal rooms and offices, on our stages, on our sets, in our workplaces, in the street, and in our homes.

Too often, however, we have failed to commit sufficient resources and attention to protect the vulnerable from abuses of power. And we have entered into partnerships with organisations without having the courage to demand and pursue their commitment to a safe work environment.

We will no longer tolerate this climate of fear and silence.

We call upon our community, our industry, and - especially - those in positions of power in the sector, to
- swiftly and unreservedly condemn sexual abuse and harassment in their workplaces;
- immediately develop robust and thorough policies and procedures for reporting and eliminating sexual harrassment and assault that adhere to a national standard;
- offer complete transparency about processes of complaint;
- maintain absolute confidentiality of complainants;
- offer support to victims as they come forward;
- hold all existing partner organisations and employees to this identical standard.

We need to stand together, in order to bring this culture of abuse to an effective, consistent and immediate end.

It’s Friday night legends. Get on down to the cross to see NIGHT SLOWS DOWN...a short sharp shock to your political system!

The tickets are affordable and the beer is cold!

Get on it!

Sharon wants to find her husband. Martin wants to be free. And Seth has dived off the deep end into the dark world of the extreme right. NIGHT SLOWS DOWN is a dystopian world where far right extremists have won a national election, where ordinary citizens are throwing bricks at banks and cars. An...
