GASLIGHT
This classic Victorian thriller is the dark tale of a marriage based on deceit and trickery. Jack Manningham is slowly, deliberately, driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives. This play, which brought the term ‘gaslighting’ into the modern vocabulary, has some of the most suspenseful and heart-stopping scenes in modern theatre.
You will be on the edge of your seat!

Life is seasonal, and those seasons bring change, challenge and hope. Things I Know To Be True tells of a normal Australian family through the course of one year. It’s a play about family resilience, and about love in its many forms; sometimes comforting and supportive, sometimes stifling and destructive. But always love.
A story told with warmth and humour as each season brings a turning point and the ramifications of the ensuing changes unfold.
It’s all about love, trust and strength of character.
Congratulations to the Cast and Crew!!

What happens when a group of smart, educated city people whose cynicism, complacency and self absorption carry them through life until their values and principles are challenged by some of their own?
When one couple in this close-knot group undergoes a spiritual epiphany, the fallout is shocking, revealing and highly entertaining.
How strong are our values and beliefs when truly tested?
