The last production to grace the stage of Griffin's historic SBW Stables Theatre before a major redevelopment will be The Lewis Trilogy from Australian playwright Louis Nowra. The three highly acclaimed plays — Summer of the Aliens, Così and This Much Is True — are all drawn from Nowra's own very eventful life. Also, Jonathan Larson's hit musical RENT is back on stage in Australia, and ahead of two new productions of Candide in Melbourne and Adelaide, we take a closer look at Leonard Bernstein's comic operetta based on the Enlightenment-era novella by Voltaire.
