📖 Pamela Allen exhibition at the State Library of NSW
📖 I took my son to see the beautiful exhibition about the career of esteemed author and illustrator Pamela Allen (who is 91 now!)
I remember her books fondly from my childhood and primary school days so it was nice for my experience to come full circle by me introducing her books to my son.
I love that the exhibition is suitable for both adults and children. For the adults there’s plenty to look at and read and for the kids there are a few fun interactive activities to explore. My son loved them all.
I highly recommend you check it out if you have kids or grandkids under the age of 8 or if you’re just a big kid at heart or admirer of beautiful stories/illustrations like me.
It’s free and on until July 2027 but don’t leave it till the last minute!
The State Library of NSW also hosts a number of other excellent exhibitions (not really suitable for young children though).

The Shiralee - Play
2025-10-06 - 2025-11-29 | Sydney Opera House, Sydney
A Love Letter to the Open Road: The Shiralee Takes the Stage
There’s something about the open road that calls to the soul – the vast skies, the red dust, and the promise of something new just beyond the horizon. Bathed in the honeyed light of an outback sunset, The Shiralee invites audiences to step into a story as hauntingly beautiful as the landscape that inspired it.
For the first time ever, the Australian classic The Shiralee is being reimagined for the stage. Adapted by the acclaimed playwright and actor Kate Mulvany, this sweeping new production transforms D’Arcy Niland’s iconic tale into a lyrical, heart-wrenching journey of love, loss, and resilience on the fringes of mid-century Australia.
At its heart is Macauley – a rough-edged swagman with a restless spirit — and his young daughter, Buster, who has been living a neglected life in Sydney after her parents’ separation. When Macauley discovers the truth of her circumstances, he takes her on the road with him. What follows is an unlikely, tender, and deeply human story about a father and daughter finding each other amid the loneliness of the open road.
Following the success of The Dictionary of Lost Words, director Jessica Arthur returns to the Sydney Theatre Company with an extraordinary cast featuring Mulvany herself, alongside Josh McConville, Aaron Pedersen, and rising star Ziggy Resnick. Together, they bring to life a story that hums with the poetry of the land and the ache of connection in an unforgiving world.
The Shiralee is more than a stage adaptation — it’s a love song to Australia’s vast landscapes, to the quiet strength of family, and to the resilience that binds us all.

2025-10-14 - 2025-11-16 | Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Virginia Gay Saddles Up as Calamity Jane
The wild west is galloping back onto the stage with Virginia Gay leading the charge as the fearless, whip-smart Calamity Jane. She’s joined by an all-star ensemble including Kaya Byrne (Come From Away) as Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin, Andrew Cutcliffe (The Dismissal) as Wild Bill Hickok, Victoria Falconer (Once) as Adelaide Adams/Susan Miller, Kala Gare (Six) as Katie Brown, Ryan Gonzalez (In The Heights) as Francis Fryer, and Phillip Lowe (Come From Away) as Henry Miller. Rounding out the company are understudy Tyran Stig (Titanique) and alternate Billie Palin (Rent), who takes on the role of Calamity Jane on Tuesday nights.
Director and producer Richard Carroll, alongside musical director Nigel Ubrihien, choreographer Cameron Mitchell, designer Lauren Peters, lighting designer Trent Suidgeest, and sound designer Daniel Herten, brings the rough-and-ready town of Deadwood to life. Carroll’s vision uses a small, dynamic cast to create a sense of intimacy and spontaneity, drawing audiences right into the saloon for a night of rowdy fun, laughter, and heart.
And speaking of saloons – patrons can sip on themed tipples at the Golden Garter Saloon before the show or during intermission. The menu features the bourbon-and-mezcal Boots & Bitters, the gin-based High Noon Heartbreaker, and the non-alcoholic Wild Jane mocktail – perfect companions for a night that’s equal parts grit, glamour, and good old-fashioned showbiz spirit.

Phar Lap : The Electro-Swing Musical
2025-10-17 - 2025-11-22 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
WORLD PREMIEREDirected by Sheridan Harbridge
Hold your horses – this isn’t your average musical biopic. Phar Lap gallops onto the stage with a raucous mix of absurdist humour, electro-swing flair, and big-hearted Aussie spirit. Forget the lavish puppetry and dazzling special effects – this production trades spectacle for sheer imagination. One actor slips on tap shoes instead of horseshoes to bring Australia’s most legendary racehorse to life, and the result is pure theatrical magic.
At its heart, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches tale about an awkward, gangly horse from New Zealand and his hapless, down-on-his-luck trainer. Together, they defy the odds to chase Melbourne Cup glory — and the nation’s heart. Along the way, they face gambling scandals, double-crosses, an attempted shooting, and even a sugar addiction (yes, really). It’s high stakes, high drama, and surprisingly true to history.
Fuelled by a brassy, toe-tapping electro-swing score inspired by everyone from Duke Ellington to Daft Punk, Phar Lap blends old-school showmanship with a contemporary pulse. The music leaps from the racetrack to the dance floor, delivering infectious energy that’s impossible to resist.
So pop the champagne, saddle up, and get ready for a wild ride — Phar Lap is off and racing!

The production bursts with energy: vibrant choreography, inventive video design, and a live band elevate Laura Murphy’s witty, contemporary score. While the show is riotously funny and visually dazzling, it also reflects on the bittersweet realities of love, mis-matches, and self-discovery.
A bold, playful, and surprisingly poignant musical, The Lovers proves that, even in the digital age, the power of love – and theatre – remains enchantingly timeless.

Detention: A Story of Connection and Courage
Detention follows two young people from very different worlds who find each other in the most unlikely of places.
Sima, a 14-year-old Hazara refugee, flees with her family from a Queensland detention centre after their visa is rejected, hoping to reach her uncle in Leeton, NSW. On the run, she hides in the boys’ toilet at the local high school.
Dan, a 13-year-old from a marginalised caravan park community, discovers a chained, dying dog. When his school goes into lockdown, he escapes the classroom to save the dog – and ends up in the same boys’ toilets as Sima. Here, their shared desire for safety and a sense of home sparks an unexpected connection.
Directed by Randa Sayed and performed by a dynamic ensemble of five, Detention combines movement and text in a poetic, fast-paced, and sometimes humorous production that will keep young audiences riveted.
Based on Tristan Bancks’ novel, the play explores themes of displacement, belonging, and shared humanity. Developed in collaboration with Hazara artists and young people, Detention uses theatre as a powerful platform for truth-telling and conversation.
Commissioned by Monkey Baa, co-written by Callan Purcell and Kobra Sayyadi, and directed by Randa Sayed, Detention is a gripping theatrical experience not to be missed.

The True History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters
2025-11-15 - 2026-01-04 | Belvoir St Theatre, Surry Hills
The True History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters
King Lear – Belvoir Theatre
Shakespeare’s towering tragedy comes alive in a bold, electrifying Belvoir production, anchored by the formidable presence of Colin Friels as Lear. Raw, powerful, and uncompromising, this is a version of the classic that feels immediate, visceral, and unflinchingly human.
It should be simple. Lear is ready to retire: he will divide his kingdom among his three daughters, each will govern in harmony, he will live out his days in peace, and the transition of power will be smooth. But the universe has other plans. Loyalty, love, and ambition collide in a storm of deceit, betrayal, and heartbreak, sending Lear – and everyone around him- into a spiral of chaos and revelation.
This is a play about the fragility of power, the consequences of hubris, and what happens when the trappings of privilege, education, and civilisation are stripped away. It forces us to confront the human condition in all its complexity: pride, folly, desire, and mortality. With its potent mix of emotional intensity, psychological depth, and unrelenting drama, Belvoir’s King Lear is not just a performance – it’s an experience that lingers long after the final curtain.

Murder For Two

Murder, Mistletoe, and Mayhem: A Killer Christmas Returns
It’s beginning to look a lot like… murder! After slaying audiences across the country – from its breakout seasons at the Hayes in 2023 to a killer run at Adelaide Cabaret Festival and beyond – the musical-comedy hit Murder For Two is back in 2025 with a brand-new Christmas Edition. And this time, the stockings aren’t the only things getting stuffed.
Back at the piano (and playing literally everyone in the room) are the show’s original partners in crime: Maverick Newman – hailed by The Sydney Morning Herald as “a rocketship, shedding and shifting characters as he soars towards the stratosphere” – and musical-comedy dynamo Gabbi Bolt (Spicks & Specks, Ratatouille the TikTok Musical). Together, they deliver a festive whodunnit packed with sharp wit, musical brilliance, and just enough yuletide chaos to keep you guessing who’s next on the naughty list.
Directed by Hayes Co-Artistic Director Richard Carroll (Calamity Jane, Godspell), Murder For Two: Christmas Edition turns the classic murder mystery inside out – and wraps it in tinsel. Expect quick-fire character swaps, piano duels, candy-cane conspiracies, and a blizzard of bad behaviour.
It’s part musical, part farce, part festive crime spree – and 100% holiday havoc. So pour yourself a stiff eggnog, hang your wreaths with care, and prepare for a show that proves murder is the reason for the season.

2025-12-06 - 2025-12-14 | Riverside Theatres, Parramatta
Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn
A Festive Delight on the Riverside Stage
Filled with sparkling charm, laughter, and a heartwarming touch of nostalgia, Holiday Inn is back to light up the Christmas season.
Jim Hardy, a big-city crooner, trades the bright lights of showbiz for the quiet of his Connecticut farmhouse, seeking peace, fresh air, and “Blue Skies.” But life away from the stage proves dull without song and dance. That is, until Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with her own flair, arrives. Together – with a little help from the resourceful local Louise – they turn the farmhouse into a magical inn, bursting with dazzling holiday performances.
Of course, romance isn’t without its hurdles: Jim’s best friend Ted sets his sights on Linda, hoping to whisk her away to Hollywood. Can Jim win back his chance at love and finally dance “Cheek to Cheek” with Linda?
Featuring the timeless Irving Berlin classics “White Christmas,” “Stepping Out With My Baby,” “Easter Parade,” “Shaking the Blues Away,” and more, Holiday Inn promises toe-tapping fun and festive cheer for audiences of all ages. A joyous holiday treat not to be missed!
