The One Day of the YearWhat is the meaning of Anzac Day? For war veterans like Alf Cook and Wacka Dawson, it’s the chance to commemorate history and conjure national pride. For Alf’s son Hughie, Anzac Day flies the flag for a very different reality, one that brings the dignity of our diggers to its knees with one too many down the pub.

The One Day of the Year explores father–son conflict and is one of the great family dramas of Australian theatre. On the centenary of the Gallipoli landing, Alan Seymour’s landmark play returns with a fresh take on this truly Australian classic.

Wot? No Fish!!In 1926, shoemaker Ab Solomons sketched on the wage packet he gave to his new wife Celie, a ritual he then continued for the next 50 years. After Ab’s death this captivating story was uncovered by his great-nephew Danny Braverman, and through Danny’s solo performance we are invited into the Solomons’

world. From falling in love to quarrels about fish balls, it’s a funny and moving journey in a changing 20th century London. Premiering to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013, this is a true story of love that will stay with you long after the final words are spoken.

The 26-Storey TreehouseAdapted from the book by Andy Griffiths & Terry Denton School Holiday Entertainment

The 26-Storey Treehouse has been brought to the stage... and you’re invited! You know what 26 storeys means: even more inventions than before... like the 78 flavour ice cream dispensing robot, the brain bamboozling Maze of Doom and more things to go wrong – not least of which is the very real possibility that the entire show is a complete and

utter disaster. Will Andy and Terry push Jill to her absolute limits? And who is this shady Hector Houtkop, with a really bad pirate accent? What are you waiting for? You’ll laugh your head off!

Monday 30 March 12pm & 2pm Single $17 Family (4+) $15 each Suitable for children 6-12 years

KellyNed Kelly sits in his prison cell, a wounded beast in a cage, defiant till the end. A priest enters to give him his last rites and it is revealed to be Dan, Ned’s younger brother, believed burnt to death at Glenrowan. Facing the sins of their past, each blames the other for their downfall and neither will escape unharmed. This makes for a brilliantly charged premise, beautifully staged and weaving

Kelly fact, theory and myth while exploring masculinity, brotherhood and the dangerous dynamic of mateship.
