Galactia has been commissioned to paint a scene celebrating the triumphant Battle of Lepanto, but turns in a heartbreaking scene of war-torn carnage -- alienating the authorities. Her young lover Carpeta is then approached and takes over the commission for himself.

Set in 16th-century Venice, "Scenes from an Execution" is a fearless exploration of sexual politics and the tension between personal ambition and moral responsibility.

The Lyttelton Theatre is part of the National Theatre complex (consisting of the Lyttelton, Cottesloe and Oliver Theatre). It seats around under 900 people on two different levels, and with no pillars or walls to block your eyeline, there really is not a bad seat in the house.

Maxim Gorky’s “Children of the Sun” is set in Russia just before the revolution. It follows the new middle-class as they flounder about, philosophising and flirting, blind to their impending annihilation. Protasov immerses himself in chemical experiments, oblivious to his best friend’s pursuit of his wife, and the starving mob outside his house. Whilst his admiring circle spar over culture and the cosmos, only Liza feels the peoples’ suffering and senses their own privileged world is in jeopardy.

“Strange Interlude” tells the tale of Nina, who escapes her jealous father and embarks on a series of tawdry sexual adventures after the love of her life is killed in the war. But when she marries the amiable Sam and gets pregnant, she learns a horrifying secret which propels her into the arms of another — with fatal consequences.
