Offshore Theatre returns

After three long years of Covid shutdowns, Offshore Theatre is proud to present its production of Jonathan Biggins' “Australians All” by arrangement with David Spicer Productions.

Offshore Theatre was set to produce this play back in March of 2020 but just days prior to opening Victoria went into lockdown. Much has changed in the last three years in the way Australians view the world and our place in it, but the group says this play is more relevant today than it ever was.

Set in the seaside town of Coriole Shire the local Australia Day committee meet to organise their Australia Day celebrations; but all does not go to plan.

In an era when Australia is in the midst of a cultural war with itself this play may stand as one of the most important texts of its time. The political divide has never been wider as the Right and Left hammer their way into an uncertain future. Old values meet new in an hysterically funny, poignant and at times heart breaking portrayal of Australia in modern times. This play brings together a formidable cast and is an event not to be missed.

Directed by Amanda Price, “Australians All” stars local actors and is the first full production to be staged at the beautiful new Black Box Theatre at Newhaven College.
Group discounts are available for Opening Night on March 23 – $20 per ticket for groups of ten people. Other nights – $25 for groups of ten. Single tickets are $30 per ticket. Bookings are online at trybooking.com.

"Australians All" season is March 23 to April 1. Matinees 2pm Sunday March 26 and 5pm Saturday April 1.
