The South Australian premiere of Melina Marchetta’s much loved coming of age novel, Looking for Alibrandi, a brand new black comedy set in Parliament House, Canberra, and a festival of new Australian plays are among the highlights of State Theatre Company South Australia’s (STCSA) recently launched 2025 season.
The final season programmed by outgoing Artistic Director Mitchell Butel (who was announced as Sydney Theatre Company’s new Artistic Director in August), STCSA’s seven-show program for 2025 also includes an encore season of The Dictionary of Lost Words (based on the debut novel by London-born local author Pip Williams, and which became the highest and fastest selling show in the history of the Dunstan Playhouse when it premiered at Adelaide Festival Centre in 2023) and the Australian premiere of Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Kimberly Akimbo, directed by Butel himself.
