Chapel Off Chapel, Stonnington's home of live, intimate and iconic performances, has plenty to keep you entertained over the coming weeks with cabaret, comedy, live music and theatre.
Life in Plastic
Starting with Life in Plastic, Christie Whelan Browne takes us from girlhood to womanhood and motherhood, through pop songs, anecdotes and a few surprising costume changes.
This is a brand new, deeply personal, bubblegum pop cabaret with a dizzying array of disco hits and a sparkling celebration of sisterhood… because girls just wanna have fundamental rights!
24 to 27 October
Consent
Topical, comical, powerful, is what this show is. Friends Ed and Tim take opposing briefs in a sexual assault case. The key witness is a woman whose life seems a world away from theirs. At home, their own lives begin to unravel as every version of the truth is challenged.
Consent is Nina Raine's powerful, painful, modern and funny play that sifts the evidence from every side and puts Justice herself in the dock. The play premiered in the U.K. as a co-production between the National Theatre and Out of Joint, directed by Roger Michell at the National Theatre in 2017, and transferred to the West End in 2018. It was shortlisted for the 2018 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
This is Bottled Snail's staging of the play, is directed by Nicky Neville-Jones and features playwright Grazia Marin's debut work that asks – is it really a man's world?
31 October to 9 November
Animal Farm
George Orwell's powerfully potent and profoundly popular allegory comes to life in a collective adaptation by Melbourne Grammar.
Animal Farm is a scathing parable of totalitarianism. Initially written as a diatribe contre Stalin, it has become the definitive artistic investigation of power and labour.
This radical reinterpretation is fully devised by (Melbourne Grammar) Year 9 students under the direction of Jasper Harrington. It challenges the formal and substantive precepts of the classic novel to scrutinise the dramatic potential of canonical text and demands fresh perspectives on the complex nature of revolution and equality.
