The Taming of the Shrew

By William Shakespeare 
Directed by Olivia Jane Parker 

Season: May 2026
Venue: Little Theatre

In this sharp reimagining, Paradise is a powerhouse record label and the battlefield is the charts. Bianca is the next global pop export, polished and playlist-ready - but her outspoken sister Kate, a rock chick who won’t soften her edges, stands in the way.

Enter Petruchio: part entrepreneur, part opportunist, determined to “woo” and rebrand the label’s most “untameable” artist.

Fast, funny, and theatrical, with Shakespeare’s original language colliding against today’s music industry, this Shrew asks: is Kate being tamed, or is she playing the game better than them all? In an industry built on image, who really gets the final cut?

Pomona

Written by Alistair McDowall 
Directed by Thomas Midena

Season: August 2026  
Venue: Little Theatre

Ollie is searching for her sister, and all roads lead to Pomona: an abandoned concrete island at the heart of the city. But as others have learned the hard way, getting involved can cost you everything. Perhaps to survive, it’s better to ignore the truth. 

Pomona is a dark, intense and curious one act play about living in the modern world. It unfolds like a puzzle, flirts with the fantastical, and twists like a nightmare.

The play was first performed in London in 2014. This will be its South Australian premiere.

CONTENT WARNING: This play contains coarse language, violence, abduction, and references to sexual assault, suicide and abuse.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

Written by Christopher Durang 
Directed by Hayley Horton

Season: October 2026 
Venue:  Little Theatre

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is a hilarious and poignant comedy that playfully riffs on themes and characters from the works of Anton Chekhov. It won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2013.

This will be the South Australian premiere production.

An Amateur Production By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical, on behalf of Broadway Licensing.
