THE ONE DAY OF THE YEAR By Alan Seymour
Controversial
Thought-provoking
Challenging
Poignant
“It’s Anzac Day this week, that’s my day, that’s the old Diggers’ day.”
On the 100 year anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, HIT Productions brings a thoroughly fresh take on this truly Australian classic.
Is Anzac Day the chance to commemorate history, celebrate heroism and conjure national pride – or does it fly the flag for a different reality – one that brings the dignity of our Diggers to its knees and into the gutter – via one too many down the pub? Alan Seymour’s landmark Australian play returns to the stage to incite as much passion as ever.
Sparking huge controversy on its release in the 1960s, the play’s first ever production had a policeman stationed at the stage door to ward off the angry public. Death threats were issued to the author. The One Day of the Year looks at our national legend through the eyes of generation, class and character. Contains strong language and adult themes.

IN THIS FAIRFIELD: ROMEO AND JULIET IN THE WEST
Significant
Contemporary
Inventive
Home-grown
In This Fairfield: Romeo and Juliet in the West is a new Australian theatre work performed, written and devised by high school students from Fairvale High School, Miller Technical High School and the Powerhouse Youth Theatre Ensemble, in collaboration with acclaimed theatre makers David Williams and Kate Worsley.
Using Shakespeare’s classic tale as a starting point, the project investigates ideas of love and family amongst the historic divisions in Fairfield, the most culturally diverse region in Australia. The local communities can often appear to be living in harmony, but scratch the surface and the long-term cultural divisions become apparent. These conflicts are often related to the experiences of parents and grandparents who migrated here from war torn countries. Although the young people in Fairfield weren’t directly exposed to these international conflicts, their lives continue to be shaped by them.
Part verbatim theatre, part urban Shakespearean tragedy, In This Fairfield is a new bilingual (English and Spanish) contemporary performance work from Powerhouse Youth Theatre, Western Sydney’s leading performance company for emerging artists.
