Forget the Kumbayas – throw on Queen B and spark more than just the fire!
This is your roll call for Camp Culture – an interactive circus show hosted by seasoned and hilariously unqualified camp leader Dale Woodbridge-Brown. But this is no gammin summer camp – it’s serving up equal parts skill and sass. Dale can’t use a compass, but he’ll show you that no matter where you come from, there’s always a way to earn your badge for being your most authentic self.
From growing up as a Faboriginal kid from the bush to one of Australia’s most prolific circus artists – his ability to use humour and heart will leave campers begging to stay just a little longer!
The Gospel According
to Paul

The sermon on the mount returns to Brisbane for a victory lap as Jonathan Biggins – co-creator and star of The Wharf Revue and one of Australia’s favourite comic actors – transforms into the visionary, reformer and rabble-rouser, Paul Keating.
Exploring the former PM’s landmark political achievements and personal obsessions, The Gospel According to Paul takes the light on the hill and shines it on a man who grew up in the Labor Party at the knee of Jack Lang, approached economics as an artform, and demanded we confront the wrongs of our past. This production captures Keating’s eviscerating Question Time wit and wraps it up in a Zegna suit. With fresh takes on Keating’s recent media moments and zeitgeist zingers, no scumbag is safe in this show, not even our humble narrator.
Do Not Go Gentle
by Patricia Cornelius
presented by Queensland Theatre Company
Saturday 29 August 2026
Tactile Tour: 12:30pm
Show Starts 2:00pm

In November 1911 Captain Robert Falcon Scott — navy officer, adventurer, explorer — led an intrepid, and ultimately doomed, race to the South Pole. In this searing masterpiece by Patricia Cornelius, winner of both the NSW and Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, the icy expanse of Antarctica becomes a haunting metaphor for ageing — vast, majestic, unknowable, and unyielding.
A group of aged care residents imagine themselves as members of Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition — battered by snow, blinded by wind, and trudging through a landscape as unforgiving as memory itself. But this isn’t just a journey to the South Pole, it’s a lyrical, unflinching exploration of ageing, the resilience of the human spirit and the extraordinary capacity for love to light the way back to ourselves.
Expertly crafted by one of Australia’s finest writers, Do Not Go Gentle inhabits two poetic worlds: one of epic adventure and another of quiet valediction. Directed by Heather Fairbairn and featuring a cast of theatrical titans, Andrew Buchanan, Jennifer Flowers, Christen O’Leary, Bruce Spence, Steven Grives, and William Zappa, this once-in-a-generation production rages against the inevitable, our own mortality. A rallying cry for dignity, defiance, and the fire that still burns in bodies grown old but spirits still strong - Do Not Go Gentle demands to be witnessed.

Small Mouth Sounds
by Bess Wohl
presented by Queensland Theatre Company

Tactile tour: 12:30pm
Show Start: 2:00pm.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Break down.
In the overwhelming tranquillity of nature, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with their achingly human need to connect. Check-in and chill-out with this wayward group of misfits as they attempt to find their purpose, a little peace and maybe themselves … all without saying a word!
In Small Mouth Sounds, award-winning playwright Bess Wohl crafts “a play unlike any other” (Huffington Post) where silence is mandatory and comedy is inevitable. Awkward glances, suppressed ugly-crying, and the occasional yoga-induced meltdown become a symphony of human relationships.
Featuring a fabulously funny cast directed by comedy doyenne Bridget Boyle and techno-troublemaker Nathan Sibthorpe, in a first for the Bille Brown Theatre: each audience member will be given their own headphones to hear the sublime inside the silence. With audio-immersive intimacy engineered by crack indie collective Counterpilot, you’ll be tuned into every surreptitious whisper, heavy sigh and smothered snort-laugh.
This is storytelling at its most inventive — recognisable, raw and deeply relatable. Filled with insightful humour, this unique and compassionate play asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.
