Number 26 is a hilarious, honest and ultimately touching show that looks at how one family handles all that life throws at them.

Number 26 was the first home Denise and her circus-crazed husband ever bought and it remains the family home to this day with Scotty, John and their two (now adult) children all under the same roof. This one woman comedic portrait of a family welcomes you in, takes your coat and plonks you down at the kitchen table. If these walls could talk, they’d be asking for a stiff drink and a lie down.

They have witnessed it all - the awkward struggle for the right word during “the talk” about the birds and the bees, the heartbreak of moving a parent into a home and the way a husband’s face looks when hit with a pork roast: pre roasting. Denise brings the highs and lows of family life to the stage in this re-working of her highly acclaimed memoir, All That Happened at Number 26.

Lewis, a young director and a university drop-out, takes a job in a mental asylum working with patients who are interested in the dramatic arts. Long-term patient Roy hijacks the show and insists that the production be nothing less than a grand staging of Mozart’s opera Cosi Fan Tutte. An ambitious thought to say the least! After all, none of the patients can speak Italian, nor sing and the cast is made up of aging nymphomaniacs, obsessives and pyromaniacs.

Lewis is faced with the daunting task of drawing performances from a disparate group of people brought together by their individual needs and desires.

Lewis’ life is touched by these extraordinary people as his operatic production lurches forward. We learn, along with Lewis, that when chasing your dreams it helps not to be too attached to reality.

Combining a haunting score and breathtaking physicality, this production will see the heart soar as friendship triumphs.

Magpie is injured in a bushfire but she discovers that riding atop her friend, one-eyed Dog, as he runs through the bush, feels almost the same as flying. “FLY, DOG, FLY! I will be your missing eye and you will be my wings.”

Fox arrives and tempts Magpie with an even faster ride. Desire, loyalty and friendship become confused and after an exhilarating ride, Fox dumps Magpie far out in the desert. Abandoned and alone Magpie begins the long journey home.

In 2008, four internationally regarded playwrights spent a week in four widely separated Tasmanian towns, drawing inspiration from those communities and their people to create four new stories.

The result of these community immersions is Sex, Death and a Cup of Tea – an eclectic offering of keenly observed perspectives on the Tasmanian experience.

Linked by journeys across beautiful landscapes and between emotional states, Sex, Death and a Cup of Tea is warm, funny and provocative theatre.

These four short plays are unique and at the same time universal stories, reminding us how our own sense of place can connect us to those miles away.

Set in a department store, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. They quickly bond and make fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that menopause is no longer the silent passage!

Maybe the attraction to the show is the songs that everyone grew up with – The Great Pretender, Only You, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Heat Wave, I Will Survive and more – all sung with gusto and all with their new lyrics. Or maybe it is the realisation that there is a wonderful life waiting after ‘The Change’.

Inspired by a hot flush and a bottle of wine, Jeanie Linders created Menopause The Musical as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived ‘The Change’.
