Shirley Valentine:

The heroine in this actor's tour-de-force is an ordinary middle class English housewife. As she prepares chips and egg for dinner, she ruminates on her life and tells the wall about her husband, her children, her past, and an invitation from a girlfriend to join her on holiday in Greece to search for romance and adventure.


Thom Pain (based on nothing):

He’s just like you, except worse. He is trying to save his life and to save your life – in that order. In his quest for salvation, he’ll stop at nothing, be distracted by nothing, except maybe a piece of lint, or the woman in the second row.


Goddesses Unleashed:

Ancient by origin, the greek myths still have a lot to say about the modern female experience. Through a contemporary lens, these stories weave together to shed light on the often-unconsidered intimate inner workings of the deity’s mind. Witty and winsome, these goddesses are primed to reveal their humanity and tell it how it really was.

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Synopsis

Nineteen

Synopsis

What happens when you put a writer, a gym-rat, a tradie and a stoner all in one share-house? Mix in some aggression, a shared-ex, insecurity and unwavering pride and you've got yourself a recipe for manhood. But is that what it really means to be a man? Nineteen explores masculinity in young Australian men, uncovering a confronting and complex world few often want to talk about. Crafted from interviews with over ninety young people, Nineteen is both the hope and fear of the next generation. So if you're in the mood to see a story about love, vulnerability, affection, talking about your feelings and learning to become a kinder, softer human being... this is not the play for you…

Javeenbah Theatre Company cast and crew

This land always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.


Acknowledgement of Country

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors gives strength, inspiration and courage to the current and future generations, both indigenous and non-indigenous. Storytelling, a traditional method used to teach about cultural beliefs, values, customs, rituals, history, practices, relationships and ways of life, is embraced by Javeenbah Theatre, a cultural meeting place on the lands of the Yugambeh people. We honour this legacy of storytelling in our productions and practises.
