THE OEDIPUS I SEE

Having immersed himself in community theatre during his teenage years and pursued acting studies in Sydney, including at the Sydney Acting Studio, Angus embarked on a daring adventure in search of unique and enriching theatre education.

Driven by a thirst for distinctive learning experiences, he journeyed to Italy where he delved into the captivating world of mask theatre at the Atelier school under the guidance of Matteo Destro. Venturing across Europe, indulging in contemplation and playful exploration, Angus eventually returned to Australia with a newfound passion for movement theatre and storytelling.

Now, equipped with a wealth of knowledge and experiences, he is poised to put his skills to the test with his inaugural original production of Oedipus. A reimagining of the Greek classic infused with Australian wit and presented through mask theatre.

MAD FOR YOU

AD HOC THEATRE presents a powerful, no-holds-barred tale of the disruption and disfunction that Alzheimer's can bring to family life.

When the Sankeys are confronted with the disease’s unforeseen consequences, the established patterns of their normal lives and relationships are thrown into disarray as they attempt to cope with circumstances they had never imagined having to face.

MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE

My Name Is Rachel Corrie is a one- woman play based on the diaries and emails of Rachel Corrie, a young American aid worker with an intense passion for human rights, equality and justice for all. The play was created by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner who collated Rachel’s writings into this thought-provoking and at times witty and humorous showcase of Rachel’s extraordinary young life.

In 2003, Rachel left her home and college in Olympia, Washington, to join the International Solidarity Movement in the Middle East, a group that was protesting the demolition of civilian homes in the Gaza strip. Unfortunately, Rachel never made it back home.

As the audition unfolds, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, leading to a power struggle where Vanda challenges and dominates Thomas.
