Between Two Waves: Foyer Foliage and Photography - Griffin Theatre Company

From her magical performance as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, to a celeb guest-stint on Neighbours as Evelyn Farlow, we’re so excited to be reunited with the phenomenal Paula Arundell.

In Alana Valentine’s new play, NUCLEUS, Paula stars as Cassie, a pediatrician who has seen the potential horrific effects of nuclear energy. For nearly thirty years she has campaigned against nuclear power, opposite nuclear engineer Gabriel (played by Peter Kowitz).

But with political change rumbling underfoot, Cassie’s life’s work could all be undone—and it’s all led to an explosive night.

NUCLEUS is powerful, tender and critical, and not to be missed.

Grab your tickets today.

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT—NUCLEUS BY ALANA VALENTINE

PAULA ARUNDELL
PETER KOWITZ

We’re so incredibly excited to announce that Australian theatre royalty Paula Arundell and Peter Kowitz are reunited on stage once more to bring Alana Valentine's NUCLEUS to life!

NUCLEUS is an explosive story about simmering tensions and difficult questions set amongst the backdrop of one of Australia’s most controversial topics. It’s a tender and critical reflection on personal versus global responsibility and conflicting values.

We’re so chuffed to be bringing Paula Arundell and Peter Kowitz back to Griffin's stages and we can’t wait to see the magic that they create at the Seymour Centre in February.

Don’t forget, general release tickets for NUCLEUS can be purchased RIGHT NOW, so grab yours today!

I guess the silly season is in full-swing at Griffin 😅

With the smashing of a golden toilet (performers to our stage will be all-too-familiar with this particular backstage throne), we said goodbye to our beloved home on Saturday (for now!), and usher in a new age for Griffin.

A particular thank you to dear Grif-friend @nicholasbrowntown for giving our golden throne a very special send-off, and for the blessings granted by Sister Salomé of the 9th Mystic Rhinestone and Novice Sister Beefcake TenderLoins from @the_sydney_sisters—truly a night we won’t forget.

Good friends, good vibes and a good-bye.

On Saturday we called Last Drinks at the SBW Stables Theatre and raised a glass with our Grif-friends to celebrate how much life and love and great Australian theatre has been staged at our humble home.

Starting at the Penny Cook Bar and spilling out onto Nimrod St, Last Drinks was our final hurrah before we hand over the theatre keys to begin our very exciting redevelopment project.

It was an afternoon spent with Griffin's nearest and dearest and we can’t thank everyone enough for the years of love you’ve shown us.

With a fantastic season ahead of us (starting with Alana Valentine’s NUCLEUS) and construction beginning in early 2025, we can’t wait for what next year will hold for us.

We’re positively bursting with excitement!

Griffin is thrilled to share that we are the recipients of an almost $5 million grant as part of the Australian Government’s Thriving Suburbs program, which means that our major building redevelopment is fully green lit.

This is a massive moment for Griffin and new Australian storytelling, as we set out to create a fit-for-purpose home for artists and those with a story to share.

Thank you to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon. Catherine King and Federal Member for Sydney, Tanya Plibersek for taking the time to join us at the SBW Stables Theatre and celebrate this occasion with us.

With this groundbreaking news, we can’t wait to break ground in early 2025 🏗️

Thank you to all the wonderful audiences who joined us at @SydneyTheatreCo and @MelbTheatreCo to experience this high-octane rollercoaster of a production. 💛

New Australian stories is what Griffin does best and it is always an honour to debut a new story like Merlynn's. It's even more special when that story gets the chance to return and be shared with even more people, especially when we do it in partnership with our friends and colleagues across Australia.

We'll be back in 2025 with a slate of fresh, new stories to share with you—sharing the pleasure of doing so with some of the nation's premiere creative organisations.
