Eight extraordinary shows, six new Australian stories and four world premieres headline Queensland Theatre’s 2018 Season.
The plays traverse centuries of time, the breadth of our country, the expanse of the globe, and the inner workings of diverse and brilliant minds. Artistic Director Sam Strong has unveiled the season to a capacity crowd as the company prepares to welcome a star-studded lineup for 2018.
The year opens on 1 February with the Queensland premiere of 'Black Is The New White' followed by 'The 39 Steps'. In April 'Twelfth Night' opens featuring a suite of new original songs by maestro Tim Finn. In May, Queensland Theatre presents the world premiere of 'The Longest Minute', a story about football and family and one unforgettable NRL grand final.
The award-winning story 'Good Muslim Boy' takes on the monumental question of faith, before Strong’s multi-Helpmann-nominated and winning 'Jasper Jones' opens in July.
On October 6 the world premiere of acclaimed playwright David Williamson’s 'Nearer The Gods' will take place, with Matthew Backer, William McInnes and Rhys Muldoon. To close Season 2018, Logie Award-winning actor Danielle Cormack will become the 'Hedda' audiences have all been waiting to see in Melissa Bubnic’s local version of the Henrik Ibsen classic that is as dangerous and surprising as its heroine.
