Russian Transport

Event Date: 12/03/2019, 07:30 pm

Russian Transport the provocative and disturbingly funny play.
A powerful and suspenseful drama, Russian Transport follows an immigrant Russian family struggling to survive in Brooklyn, New York. Fishy Productions, in association with Darlinghurst Theatre Company, is thrilled to be bringing Russian Transport to the Eternity Playhouse in March for its Australian Premiere.
Dark secrets emerge when a mysterious and charming uncle arrives from the Motherland. He tests family loyalty and preys on their weaknesses. Provocative and disturbingly funny, Russian Transport questions how far someone will go for the sake of family and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Russian Transport was playwright Erika Sheffer’s first play. Following its 2012 Off-Broadway World
Premiere, Erika received the Paula Vogel Award – “to an emerging playwright of exceptional promise”. Russian Transport was also nominated for the John Gassner Award by the Outer Critics Circle. After the New Group production at the Acorn Theatre took Off-Broadway by storm,Steppenwolf Theatre Co in Chicago had a highly acclaimed, successful season in 2014.
The Australian Premiere is directed by veteran director Joseph Uchitel. “In her play Russian Transport, Erika Sheffer presents a profound and uncompromisingly honest exploration of the recent emigration wave from the former Soviet Union to Western countries,” said Uchitel. “This is a complex, thought provoking, brave and confronting play. It is also compelling and extremely funny.”

FANTASM 1001 NIGHTS

Event Date: 09/03/2019, 07:30 pm

Spectacle aplenty in exotic international dance show
An enchanting ‘magic carpet ride’ of Scheherazade’s ancient tales about the adventures of Sinbad are told through Middle Eastern and contemporary folkloric dance in a one-off international spectacular coming to Sydney this March.
The timeless tales of Scheherazade and the heroes of Arabian folklore come to life when more than 20 dancers - both international and local -
dazzle Sydney in a variety of dance styles, set to a thrilling, original score by Paul Dinletir, (audiomachine).

The electrifying show is the brainchild of Bellydance Evolution (BDE), founded in 2009 by world-renowned US choreographer Jillina Carlano.
BDE explores, celebrates and reimagines Middle Eastern dance for the 21st century, fusing bellydance with other popular and lesser-known dance forms to take audiences on a spectacular journey. Bellydance Evolution has performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 different countries.
In Australia it is co-produced by local performer and director Jrisi Jusakos.

“We are so excited to have this opportunity to return to Australia with our fourth production, Fantasm – 1001 Nights, this time adding even over-the-top staging, spectacular handmade theatrical costumes and the addition of new styles of dance,” said Jillina.
Jrisi added that it was important for Australian audiences to experience a show like Fantasm,
where the world of Bellydance meets Ballet and Contemporary dance.
“It’s a kaleidoscope of colour, culture and excitement, highlighting multicultural Australia through dance.”

37 Ways To Say I'm Gay

Event Date: 21/02/2019, 07:30 pm

These are stories of coming out, 37 different ways.
These are stories of coming out, 37 different ways. From prehistoric to futuristic, from America to Australia, from city to county and from comedy to drama, these are stories with heart.

A young gay man's suicide is covered up, an 'are they or aren't they' boy band, a wedding ceremony that will end badly and a boy ready to confess his sexuality to his whole school... These are just a few of the coming out tales in this heartwarming collection.

The show had its debut in Melbourne during Midsumma at Downstairs at Alma’s, becoming the most successful show for that theatre, and an abridged version was performed at the Glitter Festival in the Gold Coast, selling out its shows.

"Far from being stereotypical, superficial portrayals, its gay characters represent hints of discrete, rounded characters, which cements its artistic importance as an opportunity to educate and celebrate in relation to important social issues.” – BLUE CURTAINS BRISBANE
