GLASSHOUSE MEMBERSHIP 2015
“It’s Anzac Day this week, that’s my day, that’s the old Diggers’ day.”

What is the meaning of Anzac Day? For war veterans like Alf Cook and his friend Wacka Dawson, it’s the chance to commemorate history, celebrate heroism and conjure national pride. For Alf’s son Hughie, Anzac Day flies the flag for a very different reality, one that brings the dignity of our Diggers to its knees and into the gutter – via one too many down the pub. On the 100 year anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, HIT Productions brings a thoroughly fresh take on a true Australian classic.
“...a compelling piece of theatre and one which no young Australian should miss.” The Australian

BLUE LOVE Sunday 17 May, 2pm “Stunning”... “Brilliant”... “Hysterical entertainment”...
GLASSHOUSE MEMBERSHIP 2015
In this wildly entertaining expedition Glenn and Rhonda Flune take the audience on an expedition in search of the perfect relationship.
14
Blue Love is a poetic and satirical take on the clichés of pop culture, romance, coupledom and suburbia where TV soap meets arthouse film, 60s kitsch meets medieval love song, and pop culture cliché meets breathtaking poignancy. Parodying the lip-service given to love and its incarnations, this quirky, character-based work is a multi-media, physical theatre comedy: accessible, challenging and enormously entertaining.
Blue Love was devised and choreographed by So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Shaun Parker, who also starred as a tango dancer in Moulin Rouge. Performer Lucia Mastrantone has appeared on the TV series Tangle and feature film Look Both Ways. “Blue Love is so much fun it can’t possibly be good for you” Sydney Morning Herald
