Join our island’s artists for a series of bespoke play readings featuring extraordinary theatre works by acclaimed Australian playwrights.

Road Works is the perfect winter theatre program, connecting audiences and artists across our island through relaxed and engaging evenings at the theatre, showcasing readings of powerhouse plays, and sparking rich conversations around creativity and the theatre-going experience.

Featuring an ensemble of Tasmania’s finest emerging and established artists, curated by Jane Johnson, Jane Longhurst and Gabrielle Adkins.

Two queens. One Crown. A battle of wits, blood, and broken hearts.

This is the iconic tale of Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart; two flawed and fascinating women locked in a monumental, murderous feud. The stakes couldn’t be higher. And both are determined to survive.

Kate Mulvany’s masterful adaptation brings a compelling female perspective and wit to a world dominated by politics, betrayal, and double-crossing men.

Featuring a cast of nine of Lutruwita’s finest emerging and established artists, Mary Stuart is simply epic storytelling.
