Company 13’s Macdeth, a Shakespearian treat performed in an immediate and accessible style. A funny, cautionary and fake-bloody tale that combines Shakespeare’s rich language with a healthy dose of invention and idiocy.

Macdeth is the perfect show for audiences who love the classics with a twist. Macdeth pulls no punches in making the ‘Scottish play’ a different sort of tragedy. It includes all the previously omitted scenes - the witches brewing up a hallucinogenic cat soup, King Duncan revealing his undying passion for chocolate cake, the gothic love story of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Created for children aged nine and above and their families, the show is perfect for kids who have never seen Shakespeare or think the classics are a ticket to the land of sleep.

The side-splitting tale combines Shakespeare’s rich language with a healthy dose of invention and idiocy. It pulls no punches, leaving in all the murder and foul play; all the injustice and cruelty; all the horror of one man’s ambition gone horribly wrong… but in a fun way. This is Shakespeare unplugged and re-wired, performed with stupidity and skill!?

IS IT TRUE? (Ist es wahr?)

Felix Mendelssohn Pieces for String Quartet, Op. 81, No. 2 and 3

Andrew Ford String Quartet No. 6 Jointly commissioned for Flinders Quartet by David and Kaye Birks and Julian Burnside AO QC

Felix Mendelssohn String Quartet Op.13 in A minor

Mendelssohn was fascinated by Beethoven as a teenager and his Op. 13 string quartet draws on inspiration from this great master, as well as his own song Frage which asks the question “Ist es wahr?”. Fast forward to the 21st century Australia and we have Andrew Ford’s sixth string quartet - one movement of which bears the title Sunrise with Wedding Dresses and depicts refugee, Raghda sewing wedding dresses and full of desperate hope for her infant daughter.

Pairing Ford and Mendelssohn brings 19th century Berlin right next to 21st century Melbourne. In fact, it does more than that: it reminds us that music represents a time, a place and marks history in the most extraordinarily pertinent way.

Always... Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. The show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death.

The musical play, complete with down home country humour, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes 27 of Patsy’ unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking After Midnight. The show’s title was inspired by Cline’s letters to Seger, which were consistently signed ‘Love ALWAYS… Patsy Cline.’

Always... Patsy Cline has enjoyed great success all over the United States, including a successful run off-Broadway. It has been one of the most produced musicals in America according to American Theatre Magazine. Always…Patsy Cline has also been enjoyed internationally by audiences in Canada, the UK and Australia.

BY POPULAR DEMAND ANH RETURNS WITH HIS SMASH HIT SHOW!!

Comedian Anh Do brings his best-selling memoir, The Happiest Refugee, to life in a ground-breaking stand-up show.

Performing at West Gippsland Arts Centre, for one night only in November, this moving, inspirational and unforgettable theatre experience combines humour, real life stories, photos and filmed pieces to retell Do’s amazing story.

Anh Do travelled to Australia in 1980 on an eight metre fishing boat with 47 other Vietnamese refugees. Sick with dehydration and one person already dead, the journey was the first of many struggles for a young Do, who overcame all manner of difficulties throughout his life to become a lawyer and, in 2008, Australia’s Comedian of the Year.

Today he is one of Australia’s most sought after stand-ups, as well as a talented writer, actor, producer and Star of the ABC1 TV’s ‘Anh’s Brush With Fame”.

The Happiest Refugee: A Memoir, charts his journey from starving refugee to one of Australia’s best-loved entertainers, and was described by Russell Crowe as “the most surprising and inspiring read I have had in years,”. It has been awarded Book of the Year with sales in excess of 400,000.

Do’s struggles as a young refugee – his difficulties with English, divorcing parents, being bullied and broke, are brought to life in this hilarious but moving new stage show, garnering this happy refugee standing ovations across the country.

The West Gippsland and Latrobe Chorales and Heidelberg Choral Society and Orchestra are proud to present Sir Karl Jenkins' major new work, Symphonic Adiemus, featuring over 200 performers on stage!

This iconic work for choir and orchestra, which combines classical principles with flavours of world and ethnic music, will be contrasted with the popular Messa di Gloria by Giacomo Puccini.

Symphonic Adiemus, which received its first UK performance in London in late 2017, is a challenging and innovative work, drawing on and extending earlier works which have all been world-wide favourites. Through his use of invented language, unusual rhythms and extensive percussion Jenkins pushes the boundaries of new music development.

Unashamedly operatic, the young Puccini's Messa di Gloria reflects the influence of Puccini's hero, Verdi, and provides a foretaste of his later major works. The joyous themes which run throughout the work complement the exuberant nature of Jenkin's work, and provide an orchestral contrast which will make this a concert not to be missed.
