UK THEATRE PG

Yasmin is a bright 16-year-old from a small seaside town. In an instant, her life is turned upside down when she becomes pregnant with her son, Jack. Suddenly her Scarborough isn’t sandcastles, arcades, and donkey rides. Abandoned by her family and the father of her child, Yasmin faces one of life’s great challenges alone – it’s just her and Jack against the world. But can the thing which threatens to ruin her life actually be the thing that saves her?

12 Feb – 17 Mar The Studio

A tour-de-force from actress Serena Manteghi, this play challenges our perceptions about young motherhood in a passionate and touching way. A powerful and uplifting show about triumph over adversity.

This brilliant, funny, and heart-warming performance is the debut play by Christopher York.

EXTINGUISHED THINGS UK THEATRE PG

The Holden Street Theatres’ Edinburgh Fringe Award 2018 in assoc. with Molly Taylor present “My neighbours leave their flat one morning but don’t return.

Al and Evie, married 40 years, no kids. I have their spare keys.

I cannot resist.”

12 Feb – 3 Mar The Studio

In a house that will never be lived in the same way again, Molly looks under the rock of a marriage, a family, and an existence, and brings to light what has been left in the dark. The voices of a past echoed in belongings. Items left behind. Extinguished things.

A new play from award-winning playwright Molly Taylor, who returns to Adelaide after a smash-hit season of ‘Love Letters to the Public Transport System’ at the 2018 Adelaide Fringe. Extinguished Things is a vivid, complex and moving look at what it means to spend your life with someone.

“Extinguished Things is an elaborately beautiful exploration of the fragility of our lives” Ed Fest Mag “An achingly beautiful piece of theatre” British Theatre Guide

PETER GOERS IN ‘LOOK MA, NO HANS!’ UK THEATRE PG

5 Mar – 17 Mar The Studio 60 mins Prices from $20 – $28

Peter Goers and Holden Street Theatres present Yet another nice show particularly for old people. Incredibly, raconteur Peter Goers’ last three Holden Street Theatres shows have sold out and have enjoyed reviews.

Once again by reasonably popular demand Goers takes his audience through a funny, theatrical, and self-deprecating remembrance of our lives – particularly for people who remember John Martin’s! The show definitely does not contain nudity and a fake German accordion player. It’s mercifully gluten and Hans free!

Praise for ‘Peter Goers is Hard Rubbish’

Orpheus 12 Feb – 16 Mar Eurydice 14 Feb – 16 Mar The Sunken Garden

Orpheus is the award-winning retelling of the classic myth.

This is a tale of impossible love, dive bars, side streets, and ancient gods told through hair-raising spoken word and soul music.

Eurydice is a story about making changes, taking leaps, and being a daily superhero. A beautiful tale of Leni and Eurydice, both 5 years old and 5 years young, and the world of day-to-day power, beauty, and goddesses.

Set in the beautiful Sunken Garden, Orpheus and Eurydice can be seen independently or as companion pieces.

AUSTRALIAN SA PREMIERE

THE BOY, GEORGE Patrick Livesey and Holden Street Theatres present The Queen has died. The People have spoken. The Monarchy must end - and Prince George is SO not about it. He’s 14, instafamous and would literally rather die than leave the Palace. But a storm is brewing. Political unrest. A boy left alone for the very first time. Plots must be laid and this pampered-up pup isn’t planning on going quietly.

‘The Boy, George’ is a queer unraveling. A tanty of Shakespearean proportions. A meltdown fit for a would-be King.

After a sell-out season at Melbourne Fringe, a nomination for Best Performance and winner of the NZ Tour Ready Award, Prince George is back to wreak havoc on all who dare threaten his reign.

“Brilliantly fast paced witty romp, high recommended.”

WORLD PREMIERE

TASH SULTANA

TIM MINCHIN

EDDY IZZARD WUNDERBAR

ROSS NOBLE HUMOURNOID

Tash Sultana is a dynamic awardwinning young artist who has commanded world attention since homemade videos of Tash jamming went viral. A true virtuoso, Tash was soon selling out massive theatres globally and playing at the world’s biggest festivals - no mean feat for an artist who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom.

Tim Minchin, internationally renowned award-winning musician, comedian, actor, writer and composer, will return to the Australian stage with his first national tour since 2012.

As Minchin puts it, Back is “Old Songs, New Songs, F*** You Songs”, with a set list of material from all corners of Minchin’s eclectic – and often iconoclastic – repertoire. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of Australia’s most-loved comedians.

Eddie Izzard is back with his new show, ‘Wunderbar’. Eddie’s last tour made comedy history, having played 45 countries including all 50 US States AND in four languages, making it the most extensive comedy show ever.

Eddie is back to his roots with an all-new rather personal show which expands on his own very unique, totally surreal view of life, love, history and his ‘theory of the universe’

What happens when pure comedy takes human form? What happens when a creature is created and bred to do stand up? Nobody knows because that isn’t a thing. What is a thing is Ross Noble doing a show.

You can come and see. This is it.

A UNIQUE BREW One of the things that gives our ales and stout that unique Coopers flavour and appearance is a process called natural conditioning.

To achieve this we add a small amount of live yeast to our beer just before bottling or kegging. This causes secondary fermentation in the bottle or keg which carbonates the beer and eliminates the need for any preservatives or additives.
