Sydney Theatre Company

Sydney Theatre Company’s 2025 Season is your chance to uncover a fantastic collection of plays set to inspire and delight, with stories that take you from the glorious Australian outback to a chilling picnic at Hanging Rock, and the legal battleground of the Supreme Court of the United States. 

Crack open one of the most famous fables of contemporary Australia, Joan Lindsay’s Picnic at Hanging Rock. This acclaimed adaptation by Tom Wright brings the archetypal mystery into the twenty-first century, while preserving the chilling enigma at its heart. Directed by Ian Michael, don’t miss this heartstopping and thoroughly contemporary investigation of innocence, cultural clash, and the enduring power of the wilderness. 

After a critically-acclaimed premiere season in 2022 and a sold-out national tour in 2024, the smash-hit production RBG: Of Many, One by Suzie Miller (Prima Facie) and directed by Priscilla Jackman, returns to the stage. The brilliant Heather Mitchell will revive her award-winning “virtuosic performance” (The Conversation) of the woman who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Bathed in the golden light of an outback sunset, audiences will be swept away by D’Arcy Niland’s The Shiralee, adapted by Kate Mulvany into a theatrical experience as rich and beautiful as the landscape. Hot on the heels of the national sensation The Dictionary of Lost Words, director Jessica Arthur returns with this glorious new play about a father-daughter bond that blooms in a harsh and unforgiving world.
