STAGE STAGE 8 - 17 SEP TOP GUN! THE MUSICAL

Presented by Salty Theatre

Writer Billy Palmer is about to crash and burn. His musical adaptation of Top Gun is going off the rails and he really needs a hit … especially after the debacle of Apocalypse Wow! and Die Hard the Musical. Instead, he’s saddled with a quarrelling cast, a shady ex-military producer, and a bit of bad luck. Now if only everyone would stop singing!

23 - 29 SEP MR BENNET'S BRIDE

Presented by Ballarat National Theatre

Have you ever wondered how a couple like Mr and Mrs Bennet ended up wed? This is the story of how it all began. The young Mr Bennet is under pressure to find a suitable bride, but his refusal to play by the rules sets in motion a series of events that are both comic and moving. A Pride and Prejudice prequel by award-winning playwright Emma Wood that tells the story of how an unlikely couple like Mr and Mrs Bennet got together. A story applauded by critics for capturing Austen’s style, but still accessible for those new to Austen’s works. Tix: hermaj.com
