The return of a 2024 smash hit, a 1971 classic revived, Australian premieres direct from Broadway and the West End, and new Australian plays by the likes of Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) and S. Shakthidharan (Counting and Cracking) are featured in Melbourne Theatre Company’s (MTC) 2025 season.
Highlights of the season, which was launched on Wednesday night (11 September) include an encore season of Trawlwoolway playwright Nathan Maynard’s 37, a ‘bold, shocking, important, accessible’ work about racism and football, and a smash hit for the MTC and producing partner Queensland Theatre earlier this year, and Kirsty Marillier’s Destiny, a family story set in apartheid-era South Africa and one of several works in the season commissioned through the MTC’s NEXT STAGE writers’ program.
