JESUS WANTS ME FOR A SUNBEAM
18 October – 27 October 2018

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam is theatre with a tender heart and a hard head, confronting, conflicting, complex and compelling.  Richard Cottor  Australian Stage Online

★★★★½ This is potent work, its pivot-point being Wol’s moment of blind fury at the injustice of her fate. Truman plays this with such heartbreaking conviction that you feel it shake the room to its core.  John Shand – Sydney Morning Herald

An extraordinarily moving night at the theatre, with performances emotionally pitched to the narrative movements of the work, accessible writing which strikes at the heart and a multilayered thematic examination of a very difficult subject.    Judith Greenaway – Sydney Arts Guide 

Under Yap’s delicate, insightful direction, this closely bound cast brings Rodgers’ confronting but beautiful play into intense reality – one which Rodgers’ says “made me question life’s great balancing act – how tightly do we hold on to each other and how hard it is to let go.” – Stage Whispers

THE GIRL / THE WOMAN
28 June – 7 July 2018

“As both writer and actor Vylet​ is engaging and entertaining, with a sharp eye for absurdity and a deft one for satire.” John Shand – Sydney Morning Herald

“Vylet’s story has been lovingly nurtured by a very sensitive and perceptive director, a talented, imaginative design team, the collaborative support of the National Theatre of Parramatta – and the “world of magic, diversity and community” that is Western Sydney.” Carol Wimmer –  Stage Whispers

 “This is a very attractive production with an interesting cultural conundrum to digest.” Kevin Jackson

“The entire production exudes theatrical craft.” Jason Blake – Audrey Journal

STOLEN (TOUR)
29 May – 1 June 2018

★★★★ “A drama of big ideas. It is both original and ambitious.” Daily Review

FLIGHT PATHS
18 – 24 March 2018

“The cast, led by Vagulan’s, is full of warmth, curiosity and something you might recognise in yourself: a desire to do good and create meaningful change in a complicated world.”  Cassie Tongue – Time Out

“Larnach’s writing has a sharp, self-consciously witty edge to it.”  Jason Blake – Audrey Journal

“This is another moving, thought-provoking production under the auspices of NTofP’s commitment to “reflect today’s Australia and its diverse population.”  Stage Whispers
