We've had a great time putting this season together -- we've read through avalanches of scripts, we've witnessed the breadth of Australian theatre, and we've talked with dozens of directors, playwrights, actors and designers about the work that they really want to make, and the ways that we, as a company, can enable them to make it. From these, we've found 13 projects we're really excited about presenting.
They will be created by the most extraordinary line-up of directors: Neil Armfield, Benedict Andrews and Simon Stone are joined upstairs this year by Eamon Flack, Lucy Guerin, Rachael Maza Long and Cristabel Sved. A new generation of young directors -- Leticia Cáceres, Susanna Dowling, Kylie Farmer, Sarah John, and Thomas Wright -- will make new projects downstairs.
Together we strive to provide for you theatre that goes beyond our expectation of what theatre can be. Theatre that provides us with an opportunity for self-reflection and examination; theatre that makes us think and question our assumptions; theatre that brings us pleasure, even the pleasure of sadness, and reveals, however briefly, the face of the invisible, transcending everyday life.
So join us next year. We're not quite sure where we're going yet -- but we're going to have a hell of a time getting there!
I wish that I could watch one of those!!
