At the center of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having numerous affairs. His line in harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanors is discovered. And all hell breaks loose. Noel Coward's Present Laughter premiered in the early years of the Second World War just as such privileged lives were threatened with fundamental social change.

Directed by Emily Taylor, starring Aks Sreenivasan, Dom Levy, Emmy White, Greer Rochford, Jaemin Lee, Jake Mitchell-Sullivan, Mingyou Han, Shane O'Sullivan and Wenxin Hu

Coming up at Darlo Drama! 🤩😍🤩🤩

August 28 | 29 | 30

Somewhere in Australia, a group of young teen girls prepare for the most important event of their lives – a dance show contest. But all the anxieties and confusions of the adult world come sashaying on stage, revealing a dog-eat-dog drama. The girls are played by adult women, as if they’re reliving past agonies and triumphs.

This is a comic play of memory and feminist power, and a subtly subversive exploration of the time of life when the demons get in.

Directed by Deborah Jones, starring Cathy Tropiano, Gavin Haughain, Jacqueline Gibson, Julia Bryce, Katie Bell, Paula Williams, Stephen Coyle and Vanessa Rowe

A group of soldiers and criminals have been sent to Australia as part of a recently created penal colony. The conditions are bad all around, as food is scarce for both jailor and jailed, and the punishment for theft is dire. To raise morale, Lieutenant Ralph Clark decides to stage a production of Farquhar’s comedy The Recruiting Officer, cast with inmates. But Ralph has his hands full with this group of actors, who are sometimes loveable, sometimes unscrupulous, and always perfectly human. Offering candid conversations about incarceration, gender, race, s*x and the redemptive power of art, this play pairs particularly well with The Recruiting Officer.

Directed by Sean O'Riordan, starring Adam Carr, Alexander Kelly, Binh Doan, Bishal Tamang, Debbie Kearns, Fiona Wu, Halil Selim Berk Efe, Jasmine Dhillon

Coming up at Darlo April 17, 18 and 19! A play by Nick Enright, adapted by Anthony Skuse, based on the novel by Dorothy Hewett

Sydney, 1957. Bobbin Up weaves together the voices of a remarkable chorus of working women — mothers, dreamers, survivors — whose lives intersect on the mill floor and fan out into the city beyond. When a mass layoff threatens them all, their individual struggles become one collective fight.

Raw, vivid, and unmistakably Australian, Bobbin Up is a celebration of working-class women whose stories have too rarely been told.

Directed by Anthony Skuse, starring Antonia Cooper, Binh Doan, Cathy Tropiano, Linda Zhang, Matthew Dell, Mel Jensen, Pattara Bamroongpruk and Paula Williams
