We would not be where we are today without the vision and generosity of the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation, to whom we owe the great privilege of being able to perform in the much-loved SBW Stables Theatre.

How it started 🤝 how it’s going

We couldn’t be prouder of @jeantong_ , @thelouwall and @lighthousermusic on the opening of FLAT EARTHERS: THE MUSICAL. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was this musical—after six years in the making this electric show has finally made its world premiere at Hayes Theatre Co.

FLAT EARTHERS is on exclusively in Sydney until 9 November and is sure to sell out—grab your tickets now!

FLAT EARTHERS: THE MUSICAL OPENS TONIGHT!!!

A WEST SIDE STORY-meets-QAnon queer pop spectactular, FLAT EARTHERS is the latest, bravest show from writing trio Jean Tong, Lou Wall and James Gales.

A Sydney first, this co-production between Griffin and the Hayes will dazzle, delight and delineate the complexities of how and why people hold on to alternate world views, set against a backdrop of vapour-wave and So Fresh 2000’s aesthetics (literally).

In 1993, Cate Blanchett won Best Newcomer at the Sydney Theatre Critics Award for her phenomenal performance in Timothy Daly’s KAFKA DANCES. It was a notable first, not just for Cate, but importantly as the first co-production in a storied relationship between Griffin and Sydney Theatre Company.

The vibes were high and the response was electric—we were lucky enough to hear from our 2025 Main Season artists as guests enjoyed delicious cocktails with thanks to @fourpillarsgin. There was a whole bunch of love, support and excitement for the season ahead.

BIRDSONG OF TOMORROW
By Nathan Harrison
Directed by Emma McManus
In association with @merrigongtheatreco & @oldfitztheatre
📍 Old Fitz Theatre
21 August - 7 September

The wandering albatross. The buff-breasted paradise kingfisher. The superb fairywren. Every day across this country, birds sing. Songs passed down through generations. Songs of a world that’s gone and a world that’s changing. Birds fill every part of the planet with melody and colour. They soar and swim and run. And a lot of them are chickens.

Isla and Violet are a ‘lethal combination’. Their self-righteous headmaster thinks that’s an insult. They think it’s a cute name for a girl group.

Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, it’s no surprise when these self-proclaimed soulmates are ‘separated’ until the end of the year. But the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her ‘Ethel Cain adjacent’ transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises—will Isla and Violet be separated, or will they reign supreme?

NATURISM
By Ang Collins
Directed by Declan Greene
In association with @sydneytheatreco
📍 Wharf 2, Sydney Theatre Company
25 October - 15 November

Far from the trappings of civilisation, a group of nudist baby boomers have created their very own off-grid bush eco-paradise. An unseasonably hot summer approaches, but no worries! They’ve got enough preserves, pickles, and Fleetwood Mac to get them through it... probably.

Enter Evangeline—a Gen Z eco-influencer on the run from something terrible. She’s loud. She’s over-sensitive. And she wants to stay.

Set in a time of unforgiving drought, with hot winds foretelling worse times ahead, an all-nude, all-legendary cast takes you on an hilarious journey of hope and delusion in the face of disaster.

WHITEFELLA YELLA TREE
By Dylan Van Den Berg
Co-directed by Declan Greene & Amy Sole
Presented by @sydneytheatreco, @umac.melbourne

Once in a blue moon, in the middle of nowhere, two teenage boys meet under a lemon tree. After a rough start, a fragile friendship fruits into a heady romance. Ty and Neddy fall madly in love, as teenagers are wont to do.

If history would just unfurl a little differently, the boys might have a beautiful future ahead of them. But without knowing it, Ty and Neddy are poised on the brink of a world that is about to change forever. It’s the early 19th Century. Ty is River Mob. Neddy is Mountain Mob. And the earth they stand together on is about to be called ‘Australia’.

14 June - 20 July

Hannah had her trip all planned out. Travel to Korea. Visit her birth mother. Spend a golden summer creating precious memories. But when she arrives in Seoul reality hits hard.

Hannah is Korean, yet in Umma’s mind, Hannah is a "Koreaboo"—a foreigner captivated by K-Pop, kimchi, and hanboks. Armed with only Google Translate and unrelenting optimism, Hannah must try to find a place within Umma’s world before the end of a sweltering summer.

Gabriel is a nuclear engineer. Cassie is an anti-nuclear campaigner. For nearly 30 years their lives have collided and entwined, with Cassie’s cause dominating public opinion across the
decades. But with political change rumbling underfoot, Cassie’s life’s work could yet be undone—and it’s all led to this explosive night.

GRIFFIN 2025 is here!!!

Whilst our home at the SBW Stables Theatre is still undergoing its glow-up (even Miranda Priestly will be impressed), we’re still on the go, and so excited to be partnering with old and new friends to premiere the most exciting, the most original and the most unique Australian stories to the world.

Things to watch out for in 2025: humour and joy in the unexpected, love in the things that make us different and the unflinching truth when we put things under the microscope.

Our subscriptions go on sale tomorrow at 10am. We can’t wait to share another year of Australian stories with you.

GRIFFIN 2025 is here!!!

Whilst our home at the SBW Stables Theatre is still undergoing its glow-up (even Miranda Priestly will be impressed), we’re still on the go, and so excited to be partnering with old and new friends to premiere the most exciting, the most original and the most unique Australian stories to the world.

Things to watch out for in 2025: humour and joy in the unexpected, love in the things that make us different and the unflinching truth when we put things under the microscope.

Our subscriptions go on sale tomorrow at 10am. We can’t wait to share another year of Australian stories with you.
