Macbeth
Macbeth“What's Done Cannot Be Undone” Experience the premiere of a fresh, captivating production of Shakespeare’s classic, Macbeth. This dynamic new adaptation brings a fresh perspective to one of literature's greatest plays. An unexpected prophecy at the close of a devastating war sends a national hero and his brilliant wife on a feverish and murderous quest for absolute power. With startlingly beautiful language, Shakespeare’s revered tragedy tears open the thin fabric between the temporal and magical worlds. This muscular, contemporary production looks at today’s world through Macbeth’s eyes – an epoch where double speak is rife, where violence is a modern ecstasy and true loyalty is our most valuable commodity. Shakespeare combines Scottish and English history with Greek myth to one simple end – to capture what it is to be human. What happens to us when we sacrifice our humanity to get ahead? We live in such a time, an unprecedented era that idolises fame and celebrity above leadership and morality. In such a time and place, perhaps even nature begins to fight back. A boldly imaginative, fully contemporary and brand new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from Sport for Jove that is true to the text and full of engaging revelations, a wonderful experience for students and teachers.

Guy Montgomery
I’ve Noticed So Many Things, It’d Be Unfair To Keep Them To MyselfAward-winning Kiwi comedian, podcaster and improviser Guy Montgomery brings his new stand-up show ‘I’ve Noticed So Many Things, It’d Be Unfair To Keep Them To Myself’ to Australia in 2025. He’s well known to Australian audiences through TV shows like Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Have You Been Paying Attention and Thank God You’re Here. The national tour will include dates at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the iconic Atheneum Theatre in Melbourne – where Montgomery will play his biggest Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows to date, the Perth Comedy Festival and the Sydney Comedy Festival, before shows in Brisbane, Newcastle, Wollongong, the Gold Coast and wrapping in Geelong. Montgomery said, “People often wonder what I get up to when I'm not relaying my observations about the world to them and I'm finally ready to talk. The truth is whenever I'm not relaying my observations, I am out in the community, harvesting a fresh crop of bespoke observations. That's what this show is about.” The shows follow Montgomery’s sold out 2024 tour ‘Over 50,000,000 Guy Fans Can’t Be Wrong’ that saw him perform in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. In addition this year, Montgomery’s growing popularity in Australia led to him hosting the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and saw his TV series Guy Montgomery’s Mont-Spelling Bee premiere on ABC TV. Join Guy for a chance to think "I've also noticed that" or "I had not noticed that but now I think about it, that is a bit what it is like." "One of Oceania's premier observational comedians" - The Age “This was like a masterclass in stand-up comedy.” - NZ Herald
