Breaking the Castle
23 – 26 Jul 2025
A true story walking the tightrope between heartbreak and hilarity, Breaking the Castle is a dark comedy about falling apart and faking your way through recovery - until you can’t. Breaking the Castle follows the story of David, a struggling actor whose life is a chaotic blend of substance abuse, Shakespearean soliloquies, failed auditions, and debilitating mental health. David takes himself to the brink, until an unlikely lifeline offers hope in the mountains of South-East Asia.
Murmur
1 – 8 Oct 2025
Direct from Europe, Murmur is both circus and sound theatre for families. Daringly, it plays with all the senses - with rustling sound backpacks, a landscape of speakers and an acrobatic composer! For the first time in Australia, join Murmur’s visual circus and a multi-sensory acrobatic sound composition! This is an imaginative performance for everyone who sometimes longs to be more than just human.
Coriolanus
18 & 19 Jul 2025
Please note: this event is not held at the Sydney Opera House. For the first time in 30 years, Bell Shakespeare presents one of Shakespeare’s most exhilarating political works, in the intimate surrounds of The Neilson Nutshell, starring Hazem Shammas as the uncompromising soldier/tyrant. Coriolanus is a ferocious warrior and defender of Rome. But his contempt for the public, and his refusal to play the political game, see him banished from the city he once protected.
