The fall of a dictator and the reverberations on the generation he jeopardised.
1986, Manila, the Philippines. The world finally looks on as history is being made by a society tearing at the fabric of a regime and demanding change.
On the fateful evening of President Ferdinand Marcos’ exile, young men climb the walls of Malacañang Palace, storm the hallways, and seat themselves on his throne. Among them are brothers Martin and Ernie — heroes... if only for a night.
Nearly 40 years later, the siblings reunite in Brisbane, where Martin’s teenage son Leo is incensed that the dictator’s heir is being elected to the presidency of the Philippines. With a fresh revolution and some old family secrets in the air, the three men will reconnect over the conditions of love, the question of duty and the price of rebellion.
In a watershed moment for Australian Filipino theatre, Jordan Shea’s Queensland Premier’s Drama Award-winning play draws on his multicultural experiences in an ambitious and haunting theatrical epic that celebrates the power of ordinary people to (re)discover their bravery and help shape history.

Big Brother is back.
Strap in for an electrifying take on the George Orwell classic – from the multi-award winning creative minds at Shake & Stir (Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Animal Farm and Dracula).
​
It was a bright cold day, and the clocks were striking thirteen...
Winston Smith, an editor at the Ministry of Truth, sits quietly. A quick swig of gin; a glance of quiet optimism toward the telescreen. Winston opens his diary, puts pen to paper, and in doing so, commits the essential crime that contains all others in itself. A radical and unprecedented act of rebellion.
​
Discovered, entrapped, and incarcerated in the Ministry of Love, Winston, in defending his burning desire for personal freedom, prepares for the fight of his life. Can the oppressive forces of The Party, led by BIG BROTHER, obliterate the indomitable human spirit?
And what exactly awaits within Room 101?
SUPERHEROES
By Mark Rogers
Directed by Sanja Simić
Presented by Bodysnatchers
Friday 14 November 2025
Show Starts 7:30pm
Diane Cilento Studio,
Queensland Theatre Company,
78 Montauge Road, South Brisbane.
Two young women, worlds apart, both at breaking point. It’s November, 2017. On the south coast of NSW, Emily has forgotten her nephews’ birthday party and needs her ex-boyfriend to answer her texts. In Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Jana’s trip to the grocery store puts her smack bang in the middle of the European refugee crisis.
​
At two points on the globe, these stories play out in parallel. And with no caped dudes in spandex coming to the rescue, it’s up to Emily and Jana to save themselves. But what does it mean to take responsibility for our actions? And what does being a hero really look like?
Featuring twinned monologues threaded through with scenes of devastating humanity, this masterful play comes to Magandjin for the first time, staged by the team behind Naked & Screaming (Best Production, 2022 Matilda Awards).
​
The only play to win both of Australia’s major new play prizes in the same year, SUPERHEROES is a truly original work - savage, tender and hopeful.
A Few Good Men

The Playhouse, QPAC, South Brisbane.
Aaron Sorkin’s cinematic smash returns to the stage.
Long before Hollywood, this sizzling legal drama from the masterful Aaron Sorkin dominated Broadway, and now court is in session in the Playhouse for QPAC’s 40th Birthday celebrations. One misfit US Marine is dead, two others stand accused of killing him, and the whole corps is on trial as a team of young military lawyers uncover a sinister conspiracy in this gripping judicial thriller. Inspired by actual events at Guantanamo Bay in 1986, this “brilliant, intelligent, cutting, shivering and even nasty script” (The Independent) sparkles with the signature quickfire repartee of Sorkin’s screen hits The West Wing, The Newsroom and The Social Network.
​
Turning a spotlight on the toxic internal culture of the United States military, A Few Good Men interrogates the idea that instilling unquestioning loyalty in a soldier has dark and terrible consequences, and that patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. Helmed by three-time Matilda Award-winning director Daniel Evans, a cast of rising stars go head-to-head with a swathe of stage legends in this courtroom tour-de-force.

Can you handle the truth?

​
Featuring irresistible hits like “Suddenly Seymour”, “Feed Me (Git It)” and “Dentist!”, this gleefully gory musical blends 60s pop, doo-wop and rock ‘n’ roll with outrageous comedy, camp charm and jaw-dropping puppetry.
