Bondi Legal
Written by Tony Laumberg
Directed by Scott Beaton
7th February - 22nd February
A charming, feel good, zany courtroom comedy, set in Bondi in the 1990s.
When a young girl’s prize show-pony loses its mane after using a chemical company’s product, the ensuing court case is zany, hilarious and heartwarming.
Based on one of his real-life Bondi litigation matters, lawyer/playwright, Tony Laumberg will have you cheering for the Aussie Battler up against a cold Big Corporate Australia.
This chaotic courtroom comedy about trusting in your principles and standing up to bullies will be a funny, feel good start to Rep’s 2025 season.

The Shape of Things
Written by Neil Labute
Directed by Jules Heart
2nd May - 17th May
In The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute, the boundaries of art and relationships blur as a young couple navigates the complexities of love, identity, and transformation.
Set against a backdrop of a contemporary art world, the play explores the impact of personal choices and hidden motivations. As the characters reveal their true selves, the audience is drawn into a thought-provoking examination of honesty, manipulation, and the nature of beauty.
With sharp dialogue and unexpected twists, LaBute crafts a compelling narrative that challenges perceptions and leaves viewers questioning the true shape of their own lives.

Led by Wadsworth the butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs White, Mr Green, Mrs Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up.

The Heartbreak Choir
Written by Aidan Fennessy
Directed by Sue Rawkins
Music Director: Amy Young
5th September - 20th September
THE HEARTBREAK CHOIR is an uplifting celebration of music, friendship and community. It made its world premier with the Melbourne Theatre Company in April 2022.
The play is set in the present day in a rural township about 90 minutes from a major metropolitan city in Victoria.
The 26-strong town choir was established eight years ago by Barbara, and rehearsals were held in the local Catholic church hall, but recently an ethical wedge has split the group and Aseni, Barbara, Mack, Savannah and Totty are intent on forging their own path.
With a new name, a new rehearsal space - the old CFA hall on the outskirts of town - a public debut booked and their latest recruit Peter and his son Beau along for the ride, all they need to do now is right the wrongs of the past.
THE HEARTBREAK CHOIR is a joyful, warm-hearted hug of a play that will make you want to sing out loud!

Shakespeare In Love
Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard
Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall
Music by Paddy Cunneen
Originally produced on the West End by Disney Theatrical Productions & Sonia Friedman Productions, directed by Declan Donnellan, and designed by Nick Ormerod
Directed by Derek Ingles
14th November - 29th November
Closing out the 2025 season is a play based on the popular award winning film Shakespeare in Love.
A boisterous romantic comedy set in the world of theatre.
Young Will Shakespeare has a bad case of writer’s block and desperately needs a muse. His new comedy, Romeo and Ethel the Pirate’s Daughter, isn’t turning out how he’d hoped and he’s up against a tight deadline to deliver his next masterpiece.
That is until he meets Viola de Lesseps, and a real-life romance starts to take hold. But Viola has a secret and this new play isn’t shaping up to be the light-hearted comedy Queen Bess demanded.
By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company.
