It is a proudly local theatre with an international vision and reputation, and with artistic excellence at the core of everything we do.  We produce high quality, groundbreaking and engaging plays, which present the world through a variety of lenses, bringing unheard and/or ignored voices into the mainstream and reaching the widest audience demographics. In our beautifully renovated theatre, we make work that tells big stories about human connections across cultures, race and language.
