DRAKE THE AMAZING + LA DISPUTE

Where: 
Darlinghurst Theatre

A tantalising double bill by writer, Andy Hyman; two sharp comedies exploring love, lust and transformation.

Drake The Amazing is a shamelessly comic, fast-paced look at a forgotten age – a love letter to vaudeville theatre. Legend persists that one Autumn night in 1911 Alden Drake, an otherwise unremarkable actor, became the best in the business. How did he get there? And who helped him? A laugh-out-loud tale of love in the wings and one man’s transformation from plain-old Alden into Drake The Amazing.

Missing the Bus to David Jones

Where: 
Seymour Centre

It's a secret world. Banal, a bit crazy, and well, quite frankly, surreal. But there's plenty of beauty here too...

What happens behind the swinging doors and beige walls of a nursing home? Meet the residents, staff and visitors and come on a surreal adventure, where day to day rituals give way to moments of spirited abandon. Yes there are walking frames and super sized bibs. But there’s also candy floss, balloons, and dancing – and bingo! And a lot of kindness.

Casanova

Where: 
Ensemble Theatre

Okay, so Casanova might be a noun for, er, sex, but did you know he was a philosopher, a poet, a novelist and writer of one of the greatest biographies in the world? He became a doctor, a lawyer, a priest (!) played a violin, wrote operas, plays and… wait for it… invented the lottery. Really. And… fell in love. More than once. But once very, very seriously.

As You Like It

Where: 
Siren Theatre, Marrickville

Rosalind and Orlando fall in love. Exiled to the forest of Arden they become

entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust an mistaken identity: it's a world

bewildering and pleasureable life can be.
