Us/Them

Flight Path Theatre, 7:30pm, Nov 5-9

Originally conceived for the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, Carly Wijs’ play Us/Them is more relevant today than ever before, while the world pulls itself apart at the seams, leaving the innocents to suffer and pick up the pieces in the aftermath. It is a story about terrorism made for children, and as Carly says “Discussing the topic of terrorism with children is a challenge, but it can be done. And it must be done”. These are stories that must be told, and Us/Them tells it through the voices of Boy and Girl, two kids so excited for their first day back at School Number One - which everyone knows, is the best school in the region.

The Inheritance Part 1 & 2

Seymour Centre, Nov 7 - 24

Matthew Lopez’s epic play, The Inheritance (directed by Shane Anthony), reimagines E.M. Forster’s Howards End as a contemporary portrait of New York’s gay community. A story of survival, legacy and love, The Inheritance investigates a circle of friends attempting to forge a future for themselves amid a turbulent and changing America.

Following hit seasons on the West End and Broadway, four Tony and four Olivier Awards including Best Play, this two-part epic finally makes its Sydney premiere starring a massive cast of thirteen brilliant performers. Seeing both parts in one day is an incredible theatrical experience. Double show days are available on weekends.

Same-day spots will sell fast, so book early and the promoters will be in touch with local dinner options between shows.

Singular Voices: Andy Shauf

City Recital Hall, 8pm, Dec 11

Andy Shauf returns to Sydney in December for a very special solo show. Hailed as “a gifted storyteller” (NPR Music), Shauf writes albums that unfold like short fiction, full of colourful characters, fine details and a rich emotional depth. With his latest album, Norm, however, Shauf has slyly deconstructed and reshaped the style for which he’s been celebrated, elevating his songwriting with intricate layers and perspectives, challenging himself to find a new direction. Under the guise of an intoxicating collection of jazz-inflected romantic ballads, his storytelling has become decidedly more oblique, hinting at ominous situations and dark motivations.
