Life of Galileo

April 11-12, 7:30pm and 2:30pm on Saturdays
By Bertolt Brecht

Galileo explains to his housekeeper’s son the Copernican theory, declaring that a new era has arrived.  By presenting an ‘improved’ version of the telescope invented in Holland, Galileo manages to not only raise his esteem in the eyes of all those around him but also confirm the Copernican theory. He moves to Florence in the hope of getting more funding for his research, but the academics there adamantly reject his theories, while the Church pressures him to give up his research.  The new Pope, instead of accepting Galileo’s discourse on modern observational astronomy, sends him to face the Inquisition.

FILTH

March 14-19, 8pm
By Jingan Young

What do an English editor, banker, inebriate philosopher, and a coke-sniffing, spliff-smoking Australian have in common?

They are all expats in Hong Kong.

1st July 2007, a decade since the ‘handover’, and China’s presence all-pervasive. How do these remnants of Hong Kong’s colonial past fit into the picture? When Joe abruptly abandons his wife, kids and penthouse apartment on The Peak, he never imagines that his social-climbing wife would commit the ultimate betrayal. On his return a few months after his desertion, sparks fly and home truths come out, a child is lost, trust is gained and a perhaps new kind of love emerges.

February 26-March 1, 8pm and 2:30 matinee on Saturday

Mike Leigh’s award-winning 1977 play is by turns hilarious and excruciating as it mercilessly sends up the aspirations of England’s new middle class.

Under the inspired direction of Jodi Gilchrist (The Graduate, Pride & Prejudice), Abigail’s Party is guaranteed to bring both a grin and a grimace to your face.
