Nic Davey-Greene: Only If You Love Me

Nic Davey-Greene: Only If You Love Me
Spineless politicians. Microplastics. Falling in love with a tractor. Join musical comedian Nic Davey-Greene in his debut solo show, a genre-smashing, instrument-swapping, night of hysterical original songs. It’s a full frontal onslaught of satire, singalong power ballads, catchy pop tunes, jazzy crooning and an unabashed spattering of inner-city Melbourne’s most sought-after genre – country. Venture into Nic’s sharp and playful world of musical chaos, through the absurd arena of politics, the familiar purgatory of heartbreak, the humiliation of failed threesomes and the ups-and-downs of dating Cameron Diaz.

Nic leaps into his first Melbourne International Comedy Festival for a 12-show season at the Grace Darling Hotel. Don’t miss this opportunity to see an electrifying new force in musical comedy. 8 - 20th April, 6:15pm at The Grace Darling Hotel.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes
Written by Lucy Kirkwood
Directed by Bella Wheatland
An Amateur Production By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical, on behalf of Nick Hern Books

‘The idea that all of this will end in a catastrophe over which we have no power, that’s a given, that is a familiar and strangely comforting fact’


Geneva, 2008. Alice is a scientist. She spends her days doing the most exciting scientific work of her life. Jenny is her sister. She spends her days Googling and worrying. While Alice's work on the Large Hadron Collider threatens possible destruction of the universe, her family life is falling apart already. With a grieving Jenny’s sudden arrival back into Alice’s world in Geneva, both sisters are forced to reckon with their perceptions of what is order and what is chaos, what is knowable and what is uncertain.

Mosquitoes is a play about families and particle physics. Personal and cosmic tragedy. Our (lack of) belief in each other and in our universe.


Starring: Atticus Chave, Henry Chipperfield, Lily Koch, Amy Liew, Ashi Mashoof, Lily Watkins and Airlie Windle

HEAD SOUTH

HEAD SOUTH
HEAD SOUTH is a touching, bittersweet coming-of-age comedy set in New Zealand in 1979, about a naive teenager who, without any musical experience, plans a gig for his (not yet existing) post-punk band at the local rock music venue. Alone for a fortnight with his world-weary father who is going through his own crisis of identity, Angus navigates self-doubt, derision, harmful behaviour and a family tragedy to take the stage for the first time.

Written & directed by Jonathan Ogilvie

HEAD SOUTH also stars:

Márton Csókás (Lord of the Rings, Bourne Identity, The Equaliser)
Roxie Mohebbi (Kid Sister, Give Me Babies, Critical Incident)
