It is the latest in a number of Australian theatre companies to announce a post-COVID season. State Theatre Company South Australia is already back on stage, having opened its production of Gaslight at Adelaide’s Her Majesty’s Theatre last night. Belvoir’s production of A Room of One’s Own, adapted for the stage by Carissa Licciardello and Tom Wright, begins playing tonight, Sydney Theatre Company is staging the world premiere of Angus Cerini’s Wonnangatta at the Roslyn Packer Theatre from September 21, while Griffin Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Mark Rogers’ Superheroes at Sydney’s Seymour Centre from September 25. All of these productions are being performed to socially distanced audiences.

Black Swan State Theatre Company in Perth will also return to the stage in November, when it presents Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical Oklahoma! at the Heath Ledger Theatre from November 28.
