Cecilia Gentili's Red Ink
God won't give up on Cecilia Gentili. Unfortunately, neither will the devil. Follow a young trans girl as she navigates the hilarity of rural Argentina during the 1900s. Part stand-up, part camp and (almost) all true, Red Ink is an irreverent romp in searching for faith while trans. Presented by Elliot Page and PAGEBOY Productions, Sara Ramirez, Breaking the Binary Theatre, Queer Arts Coalition and Nic Cory, Red Ink is the late writer, activist and icon Cecilia Gentili's autobiographical work. The play's off-Broadway 2024 premiere received a Special Recognition GLAAD Media Award.
ALTAR
Today is Sutton's wedding day. Dana has been invited, but Dan will be in attendance. Dan who was once Dana. Beloved by audiences and critics alike, ALTAR is a tender and fervent exploration of growing up and into queerness, or away from it. Em Tambree's striking debut has been described by critics as 'a rallying cry' (RyanHamilton.work), and 'a play that necessitates the existence of theatre itself' (PraiseDionysus, podcast). The sold-out Australian premiere was featured for Best Theatre of 2024 (Keith Gow) and 2024 Playwright to Watch (Guy Webster). ALTAR was commissioned by Midsumma Festival and developed with the generous support of Abbotsford Convent. Say "I do" & RSVP to ALTAR's international premiere this summer at Underbelly.
...Earnest?
Fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off will love this. Returning to the Fringe for the FIFTH time due to phenomenal demand, this Oscar Wilde twist is guaranteed to have you in stitches. When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde's classic play gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan... that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue.
