Righto. Living in the 21st century feels like living on a volcano, but live we do and live we must, for all we’ve got. This year we’re presenting a season of plays about people trying to make a better life on the volcano. We’ll present these plays the only way we know how – not with splashes of cash and whizzbangery, but with all the love and imagination we can muster. These are plays about the 21st century, about new ideas and new lives. These are plays for all people, but we think they are especially alive to young imaginations and young minds. They invite audiences to respond with new ideas and great intuitions of their own. These plays encourage a
more playful world. The world is too serious, and a sense of play is one of the best courses of action open to us. At Belvoir we don’t make special shows for school students – our shows are for everyone. We throw our doors wide open and invite students to take the ride with us. We’d like this to be the place where students can discover the lasting brilliance of theatre and of theatricality – of play, of inventiveness, of togetherness, and boldness. Young audiences aren’t the audiences of the future they are the audiences of now. Please join us.

JASPER
JONES The backblocks of Western Australia. It’s 1965 and Charlie Bucktin’s thirteen and smart. But when blamed-foreverything Jasper Jones appears at his window one night, Charlie’s out of his depth. Jasper has stumbled on the body of a local girl in the scrub, and he knows he’s the first suspect – that goes with the colour of his skin. He needs every ounce of Charlie’s brains if the truth is to emerge before Jasper finds himself at the pointy end of a deep anger. As the boys negotiate the secrets of a small town, the winds of change blow – but how do teenage Australians solve the riddles of a Grown-Up World? Kate Mulvany’s adaptation of Craig Silvey’s award-winning novel is daggyfunny and wise. A coming-of-age story for a generation, and a nation too.

KIDNEY A premiere Australian play based on actual events, showing just how startling real-life can be. Mary-Ellen Field is a successful Australian business consultant in London – until she’s accused of betraying secrets to the press. Her life comes crashing down, and she starts to wonder if she’s losing her mind. Then it emerges that her phone was being illegally tapped by reporters, and she sets out on a campaign to restore her reputation. But along the way, her ideas of redemption change – she’s been interviewed by a journalist on the other side of the world, and his story puts everything into a new perspective.

Modern India, a world of cyberspace and ancient gods. In the swirling buzz of a railway station, a young girl is abandoned and brings the place to a standstill with a beautiful song. Among the throng is a poor chaiwallah (teaseller) and in that sweet moment his life is turned upside-down. Our Guru (Jacob Rajan) is a bucktoothed chameleon, channelling seventeen different characters and dispensing questionable spiritual wisdom as he plays out a serpentine tale of impossible love and modernday magic.

Mr BURNS A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY A catastrophe has brought the civilised world to an end. Survivors huddle around a fire, pondering the world without electricity, and the things they will never see again. To console themselves, they piece together an episode of The Simpsons, clinging to one of the few memories they all share. Fast forward seven years and we’re in a post-apocalyptic society. A troupe of players wander the land, providing connection with a mythic past – by playing out the classic Simpsons episodes: Springfield has become a Golden Age. Fast forward a generation. A feudal world of sorts has sprung from the ruins, and at its core is an intense religion of musical theatre, featuring a pantheon of strangely recognisable gods…

THE
ROVER Toby Schmitz is back at Belvoir in this classic 1677 battle of the sexes, by the first professional woman playwright, Aphra Behn. Lost in a maze of masquerade and revelry, a ratbaggy gang of exiled cavaliers plunge into the steamy depths of Naples at carnival time. They’re led by Willmore, a seventeenth-century playboy who’s been round the block a few times and survives by his wit and exuberance. Then he meets a young woman who has the guile to expose the Rover’s true self. He’s almost prepared to fall head over heels for her. But she’s a nun. And there’s the most beautiful woman in Europe on the same street…

HIR Isaac has come home from the blood and horror of a foreign war to look after his sick Dad, only to find a family home that looks like a bomb has gone off. And, in a way, that’s just what’s happened. It turns out his younger sibling is transgender, his Mum isn’t under the thumb of her domineering husband any more, and they’re going to smash the Patriarchy to smithereens. But in this absurd comedy, blowing up the past doesn’t necessarily set you free.

GHOSTS Following on from The Glass Menagerie, Pamela Rabe and Eamon Flack reunite for another riveting masterpiece. Since the death of her charismatic but abusive husband, Helene Alving has been treading water in a sea of empty days. What keeps her going is a deeply held belief that salvation can only lie in telling her son Oswald the truth about his father. But when Oswald returns after living as an artist in France, he has his own truth to reveal: he is already living the consequences of his father’s life...

Lally Katz is on a journey. She’s left Australia behind and she’s in the country of her childhood, trying to find a way back to when things were innocent. Her relationships are chaotic, her professional life is a shambles and contemporary America seems riddled with charlatans and shysters. But along the way moments of wisdom bubble up, as if from some lost ancient city beneath the waves off Florida… Five women play the myriad characters of Lally’s life: ageing Jewish grandparents in Miami, wizened taxi drivers, cynical prophets, unhappy pharmacists, clowns, hip-hop artistes, narcissists, angels, animals – and, of course, Lally herself.
