Henrietta's Not So Helpful Day!

Daytime Theatre Troupe - August 20

Written and directed by Jane Sheppard

Henrietta Hen decides to rally the other animals to help cheer up Meg the dog. Unfortunately, Henrietta tends to get everything mixed up.  Instead of finding Meg’s lost bone, she brings a phone, a cone and a stone. The cake she makes for the party is a disaster when she adds flowers and white eggs instead of egg whites.  With help from some books, a couple of wise-cracking bees, joke-telling hens, a moon-jumping cow, super-piggy and sheep with baaad puns, Meg eventually gets the wag back in her tail…or should that be tale?

Scheduled to tie in with Book Week - Suitable for Children aged 3 to 7 years.

Children are seated on the floor with limited seating available for adults and we apologise that there is not sufficient room for prams/strollers to be brought inside. Please advise us if you require access for wheelchairs.

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.
