Whats On?

Our 2022 Season!

Once in Blue Moon

May 12 - 28 2022

by John Dole
Directors: Tony Erhardt and Dave Dunkerley

Gregory is an amateur Astronomer. Night after night he stares at the constellation Lyra until he arouses the interest of its resident goddess, who comes down to offer him her supernatural powers.

But there is nothing remote about Lyra to the embarrassment of Gregory who has problems enough already, what with his girl-friend Veronica and his flat-mate, the lecherous Lionel.

To complicate matters further there is Hash Harriet, a burglarious lady, Ganymede Prout, a dim electrician, not to mention Gregory’s mum and a person from downstairs.

This play is a non-stop rollercoaster of laughs!

ILT Directors' Masterclass

June-July 2022

Have you ever thought about wanting to bring to life a story on a stage? Have you thought…’that acting gig’s not for me, but I love to create stories?’

Do Steven Spielberg, Jane Campion, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino or Alfred Hitchcock ring any bells? While these people were great film directors, they’re also famous for another thing – not being actors! There is no rule that to be in theatre, you need to act. In fact, actors wouldn’t have any opportunities if it wasn’t for directors.

This is where you come in.

On the weekend of June 11 and 12, 2022, ILT is holding a Directors’ Masterclass. This is an opportunity for people who have never directed before to come and learn the craft. It’s also an opportunity for apprentice directors and experienced directors to further develop their skills and knowledge. This opportunity will be a weekend filled with ideas, knowledge and skills development for anyone interested in theatre and particularly for those wanting to be a theatre director or be a better theatre director.

Deliver Us From Mama

September 22 – October 8 2022

by Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten

Director: Chris Austin-Greenhill
Assistant Directors: Robyn Flashman and Martie Blanchett

Mama can’t help but meddle in the lives of her children, and she has outdone herself this time.

She arranges a family get together in California so she can help each of them “make their lives more successful”. However, her son’s wife goes into labour! The problem? Mama has also arranged for the expectant mother to be in Alabama at the same time. This triggers a hilarious race to beat the stork.

Despite a strange alien encounter, a last minute wedding with off-their-rockers relatives, a wild high-speed police chase, a crazy session in night court and much more, this desperate trio drive on.

Fasten your seatbelts! You’ve never been on a zany family road trip like this one.

Breaker Morant

November 17 – December 3 2022

by Kenneth G Ross

Director: David Austin
Assistant Director: Aaron Evans

During the Boer War in South Africa in 1901, three Australian 'irregular’ soldiers are tried by a British military court for the murder of 12 prisoners and a German missionary. The accused are Lieutenants Harry Morant, Peter Handcock and George Witton. Morant, an English-born adventurer who has spent years in Australia, maintains he was following the unwritten orders from Lord Kitchener of “kill all prisoners”.

However, the killing of the German Missionary may push the Germans to side with the Boers. The trial thus becomes a trial of politics, and not a trial of truth.

With the recent trial of Ben Robert Smith fresh in the public mind, the “trial by politics” still holds strong resonance today.
