Australia 1969 and the sabbath in the Berkowicz household when the extended family gathers joyously for the occasion.

At the centre of this family confrontation is Christine, an outsider, a Gentile. Ron Elisha is a world renowned playwright of numerous productions, and a Winner of four Australian Writers’ Guild Awards. In Duty Bound is a funny, thought-provoking and totally absorbing play exploring the dynamics of family and faith.

Doubt, A Parable

By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Carla Moore
By arrangement with Creative Artists Agency

Where do you draw the line between belief and suspicion? Between scandal and moral certainty. And when does the battle for truth turn into a witch hunt? Set in the Bronx New York in 1964, Sister Aloysius, a school principal and stern Catholic nun, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. An accusation sets the stage for a powerful clash of authority, tradition, responsibility and faith. A relevant and resonating play, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, four Tony Awards and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle for Best Play.

The Real Inspector Hound

By Tom Stoppard
Directed by Isaac Owen
By Special Arrangement with Origin Theatrical

Welcome to the theatre where no one is true, no one is false, no truth is true, and no truth is false. Two critics Birdboot and Moon come to watch a ludicrous whodunnit play set in an old country home. By chance, the Critics become involved in the action setting off a series of events that parallel the play they are watching. It takes quite a while before anyone notices the corpse under the couch. Roar with laughter as red herrings, dramatic deaths, romantic intrigues, and stereotypical characters unfurl in Tom Stoppard’s classic multifaceted delight.

Performances at 5PM
Saturday 20 July and 3 August
Sunday 21, 28 July and 4 August
Performances at 8PM
Friday 19, 26 July and 2, 9 August
Saturday 27 July and 10 August
