Since we wrote to you last month, the situation for live theatre in Sydney has changed again, most significantly with the announcement overnight that the Sydney Fringe Festival has had to be cancelled due to the extension of the lockdown of Greater Sydney until 31 August.
Coming after the cancellation of last year’s festival, this is heart-breaking news. We extend our sympathies to Artistic Director Kerri Glasscock and her team who have been working so tirelessly over the past year to bring this wonderful festival to life. It’s a cruel blow indeed. You can read the full statement here.
That will be followed by the Australian premiere of THE LOVELY BONES, a stage adaption by Bryony Lavery of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel, which will play 16 November – 18 December with Press Night on Wednesday 17 November. https://newtheatre.org.au/the-lovely-bones/
We will also be announcing the winner of THE SILVER GULL PLAY AWARD for 2021 in late October, with rehearsed readings of excerpts from the shortlisted finalists. Entries for the award close 31 August. https://newtheatre.org.au/the-silver-gull-play-award-2021
We remain optimistic despite these difficult times and look forward to welcoming back audiences to New Theatre when we can once more open the doors. We thank you for your support and your understanding and we wish you all the best in the coming weeks. Stay safe!
