We never lose the passion and excitement as the lights dim and the actors materialise out of the dark. This theatre consistently engages Oz's most prominent playwrights, directors actors and designers. Looking towards participating ringside for Prize Fighter for a rare theatrical combo of storytelling pared with the thrill of live boxing in adrenaline-pumping, full contact theatre
Do you admire a fabulous script?
Do you enjoy wonderful acting?
Do you want to be challenged?
Then Belvoir Street Theatre is the place for you. Try it and you will be enthralled.
Leah Purcell has re-imagined and varied Henry Lawson's tale "The Drover's Wife" and stars in this production. The acting (5 actors in all) is excellent, the storyline very convincing and in parts, confronting. If you enjoy live theatre, don't miss this rivetting production.
We enjoy our local theaters at home in Atlanta and were very impressed with the quality of the performances in the Drover's Wife. As for the general theater experience: getting to the theater by train (Central Station) was very easy and we felt safe in the area. Drinks available pre performance and the preassigned seats were comfortable. Overall a wonderful experience we would repeat on a return visit.
Call me spoilt, but I love Belvoir Street because it's like having the actors play just for you when you go to a play because its such an intimate theatre.
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (Or what you will) was our play this time - the actors and audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves - the wit was sparkling, the acting exquisite - from Malvolio (on crutches) to the Festel (in a wheelchair), from Viola to Orsino to Olivia, from Sir Toby Belch to Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Maria & Sebastian.
The venue is easy to get to (parking can be tricky sometimes) Hal's Bar serves a good sparkling and a good coffee, and there are many good cheap pre-theatre restaurants nearby.
Well worth a subscription.
Looking for something to do on a Friday night in Sydney and came across a play called Back at the Dojo at the Belvoir Street Theatre. Wasn't sure what to expect. What we experienced was a well written play performed by exceptional actors which made for a very enjoyable evening. Next time we visit Sydney we will check it out.
