Don’t miss this electrifying performance, showered with critical acclaim and a 2023 sell-out season. A fictional imagining based on true events, Julia remains a must-see for those interested in outstanding acting, top-notch directing, Australian politics, and the inspiring story of a woman who changed history.
3. Dracula:Experience Kip Williams’ Gothic trilogy’s final masterpiece, Count Dracula, a radical blend of technology, design, and powerful acting. Starring Zahra Newman in every role, this cine-theatre spectacle, set in a Transylvanian castle, weaves a bewitching tale of evil’s transformative spell on Victorian London. Unmissable theatre, marking the pinnacle of recent theatrical innovation.
