The Griffin Theatre Company 2025 Season

Overview

Most recently dubbed the "A24 of theatre", Griffin is perhaps the most innovative, risky theatre company around. And Griffin Theatre Company's 2025 Season of plays is set to be a goodie, from plays exploring nuclear power to Kpop and naked performances. If you want to know more, keep scrolling. 

Nucleus 

Alana Valentine's Nucleus in the Reginald Theatre at the Seymour Centre is about two people who have committed their entire lives to different sides of the nuclear power debate. Intrigued? One is a nuclear engineer, and the other is an anti-nuclear campaigner. With nuclear energy such a hot topic (did anyone say Federal Election in May?), this show is guaranteed to be full of explosive arguments and even more explosive revelations.

Koreaboo 

The second production, Koreaboo by Michelle Lim Davidson is inspired by her own life as a Korean-Australian adoptee. Presented in the Downstairs Theatre at Belvoir St Theatre, Michelle herself takes to the stage for a story about culture, deep connection, family and the power of Kpop. 

Naturism 

The premiere of Naturism by Ang Collins presented in the Wharf 2 Theatre at Sydney Theatre Company is set to be anything but your usual theatre experience. Let's start with the fact that the entire cast is naked. The play follows the journey of a Gen Z eco-influencer crashing an off-grid Boomer eco-paradise. The rest we will leave to your imagination. 

Griffin Lookout

Griffin Lookout, a program supporting independent artists, presented in association with the Old Fitz Theatre, is back after a year-long hiatus, and if you were lucky enough to see past Lookout seasons, you can understand the excitement.

SISTREN 

The first of these productions is SISTREN by Iolanthe. Known for their infamous performance in seven methods of killing Kylie Jenner, this play marks her debut as a playwright. You can expect a story of two best friends, who their headmaster dubs a 'lethal combination'. It's also set in South London, which we love. 

Birdsong of Tomorrow 

Birdsong of Tomorrow by Nathan Harrison is one for all the avid birdwatchers out there. However, this play takes a unique angle, turning your eye to our rapidly changing environment. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Get set to dive deeper into the world of birds than perhaps you ever have. 

Whitefella Yella Tree 

Griffin is presenting a return season of the acclaimed Whitefella Yella Tree by Dylan Van Den Berg. The production will enjoy seasons presented by Sydney Theatre Company, La Boite Theatre and University of Melbourne Arts and Culture. This one is at the top of our list – the script and production have won countless awards. 

Subscriptions

The good news is that Griffin also offers great value theatre subscriptions, guaranteeing up to 20 per cent off standard ticket prices. Effectively a Season Pass, the subscription also offers perks from Griffin and friends, such as meet-the-artist nights and subscriber perks from places like Fabbrica Darlo, Penny's Cheese Shop and Four Pillars Gin. There are play packages for all theatregoers of all ages. Grab one of two core packages including two plays and three plays, with customisable add-ons that include one or both Lookout plays. And, unlike your Netflix and toilet paper subscription, this one promises real-life, tear-jerking, happy-crying, laughing-till-it-hurts kind of fun. Plus, Griffin has some of the most affordable mainstage theatre ticket prices in Sydney, as well as a strong offering for those under 35 with a dedicated ticket price.
