2018

This Old Man Comes Rolling Home (2018)
"2018 was the year of the first timers - at the start of this year, the committee made it a priority to engage with newcomers and first-timers and this year, almost all of our shows were made of a team of first timers, from directors and producers, to actors and crew members. We had over 100 people involved in making, acting and crewing shows. We had our first ever Australian play major, which was also our first play major in about 10 years. We built on the legacy of the 32 years before us and we have a lot to be proud of.

I just want to say - from the very bottom of my heart - thank you. Thank you to everyone here tonight. Thank you to our wonderful 2018 committee, and thank you to those who are on the 2019 committee who will do big things. Thank you to everyone who was in a show, to those who will win the big awards to those who feel like their contribution was minimal. Thank you to everyone who shared with me in 2am bump ins and early morning barn runs. Thank you to everyone who put in countless hours of their own time in an attempt to fulfil your own dreams, or better yet, those of the sometimes overly ambitious directors. Thank you to everyone who went to an audition, came to a BBQ, sang karaoke with us at the rege or even just saw a show that their friend dragged them along to. None of this is possible without all of you. So thank you again.

                                          - NUTS 2018 President Liam Jarvis (NUTS Ballwards 2018)

Coriolanus
Written by William Shakespeare
​

“I’ll give my reasons more worthier than their voices.”

Caius Martius, a Roman soldier dubbed 'Coriolanus' for her prowess, is the hero of the Roman/Volscian war, and a figure of great contention to all those around her. She deprives the plebeians of food, yet fights for their country without mercy - a proud solider and devoted Roman, in a critical moment of history. 

Directed by Joe Knights
Produced by Axel-Nathaniel Rose
Designed by
 Madi Aimée Slavin

This Old Man Comes Rolling Home
Written by Dorothy Hewitt

“We breed like sparrows an’ we die like sparrows. We never end. We jus’ come up out of the dark little houses to sit among the chimney pots flappin’ our wings and twitterin’ for the stars.”

Dorothy Hewett’s ‘This Old Man Comes Rolling Home’ is a haunting, poetic portrayal of working class family life in Cold War Sydney. Capturing the spirit and political character of 1950s Redfern, this tender story treats the often-miserable lives of its characters with warmth and humour.

Directed by Casuarina O'Brien
Produced by Natalie Marcarian
Designed by 
Verónica Barac

What is the Matter with Mary Jane?
Story by Sancia Robinson
Written by Wendy Harmer


This one-woman show is a fierce, sardonic, no-holds barred look at the experience of one woman battling with Anorexia and Bulimia. Both a devastating drama, and a heart wrenching black comedy, this raw and honest work exposes the painful reality of an under-discussed mental illness that affects 15% of Australian women.

Directed by Jo Bradley
Produced by Liam Jarvis
Designed by Sarah Stormont

Directed by James Coates & Matt Foffani
