Stories about us. By us. For us.

For nearly 50 years Griffin has been dedicated to the development and staging of Australian plays. We serve as one of the great engine rooms of Australian theatre—shaping and telling stories that reflect us, help us understand who we are, who we have been and who we want to become. 

Griffin is synonymous with Australian theatre. We have premiered over 400 new Australian works since our inception in 1979. We have platformed some of the country’s most courageous stories. We have served as the launchpad for the nation’s most prolific playwrights. Stories with humble Griffin beginnings have gone on to stages and screens nationwide and beyond—even to the West End and Broadway. As former Artistic Director Ros Horin once said “We are the theatre of first chances”.

Green Griffin

Griffin is passionate about environmental sustainability. From programming challenging works on the topic (Naturism, Nucleus, Between Two WavesKill Climate DeniersThe Turquoise Elephant) through to activism and company practices, we’re all about being green. And we’re always looking for new ways to reduce waste, consumption and achieve our goal of becoming carbon neutral.

But, we’ve never formalised our commitment to climate action… until now.

Griffin’s Sustainability Action Plan marks the beginning of the company’s formal commitment to environmental sustainability.
