NCIS:Sydney Season 2 / CBS

Daniel Widdowson is Petty Officer Sully 'Scalpel' Dunbar in NCIS:Sydney, Season 2, Ep 6

The suspected suicide of a former U.S. Navy SEAL leads NCIS: Sydney to a wellness retreat to investigate a group of his fellow former SEAL buddies.

The series follows a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and Australian Federal Police (AFP) who have been grafted into a multi-national taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet. Catch up on the first season now on Paramount+.

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it’s a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

Things I know to be True / OSO Arts

Claudia Watanabe will play Pip, and Nick Barraclough takes on the role of Ben in Things I Know to be True at OSO Arts Centre

Parents Bob and Fran have worked their fingers to the bone and with their four children grown and ready to fly the nest it might be time to relax and enjoy the roses. But the changing seasons bring home some shattering truths, leaving us asking whether it’s possible to love too much. As beautifully touching as it is funny and bold, Things I Know To Be True tells the story of a family through the eyes of four grown siblings. Each struggle to define themselves beyond their parents’ love and expectations. It is a complex and intense study of the mechanics of a family that is both poetic and brutally frank. Things I Know To Be True first premiered in Adelaide, Australia, as a co-production between Frantic Assembly and the State Theatre Company of South Australia. OSO Artistic Director Lydia Sax (The Revlon Girl, Once Upon a Bridge, Sabbath) returns to direct the London revival of Andrew Bovell’s ‘gently magical’ (The Times) play. ★★★★★ ‘A thing of beauty.

The Inheritance / Sydney Theatre Awards 2024

2024 Sydney Theatre Awards

Congratulations to Jack Mitsch and the ensemble of The Inheritance for winning 2024 Sydney Theatre Award for BEST ENSEMBLE.

The production sold out an extended season and claimed Best Ensemble, Best Director for an Independent Production and Best Independent Production at the Sydney Theatre Awards | @sydneytheatreawards

Matthew López's epic play, The Inheritance, reimagines E.M. Forster’s Howards End as a contemporary portrait of New York’s gay community.

A story of survival, legacy and love, The Inheritance investigates a circle of friends attempting to forge a future for themselves amid a turbulent and changing America.

At the centre of the play stand Eric Glass and Toby Darling, around whom characters swirl in and out of love, apartments, and arguments. When two strangers enter their lives - an older man and a younger one - their futures suddenly become uncertain as they begin to chart divergent paths. Chance meetings lead to surprising choices as the lives of three generations interlink and collide, with explosive results.

Following hit seasons on the West End and Broadway, four Tony and four Olivier Awards including Best Play, this two-part epic makes its Sydney premiere at the Seymour Centre. Directed by Shane Anthony (Anatomy of a Suicide, Ulster American, The Whale) and starring a massive cast of thirteen brilliant performers, this sexy, funny and sharply political play will be spoken about long after the final curtain. Originally from Albury, Jack Mitsch makes his Seymour Center debut after recently graduating from Actors Centre Australia. Jack has just returned from touring with the cabaret show Daddy by Brent Thorpe, directed by Adam Cook, performing at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival and King's Head Theatre in London.

Jack is thrilled to be a part of telling these stories with such an amazing cast and is honoured to be a part of this production. It’s these stories like The Inheritance that mean the world to Jack and need to be told.

The Cheshire Cat will leave you with a grin and you can’t fail to miss Humpty Dumpty on his way to meet Tweedledum and Tweedledee. And what might seem slightly silly, becomes downright absurd as the Mad Hatter arrives with the March Hare and Dormouse to have a grand old time with Alice at the tea party. ‍

Apple Cider Vinegar | Netflix

Laila Thaker will Appear as Layla, and Mark Casamento as Eddie in the new Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar.

What happens when your health and wellness advice comes from a fraudster?

Inspired by a true story that was based on a lie, Apple Cider Vinegar stars Kaitlyn Dever as Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness influencer who claims to have cured her terminal brain cancer through health and wellness. Sounds unlikely? That’s because it is. As it turns out, Belle has never actually been diagnosed with — or cured of — the malignant brain tumor that she shares with the world through social media, the mobile app she develops, and its companion cookbook.

Set at the birth of Instagram, Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way. All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true.

This is a true-ish story based on a lie, about the rise and fall of a wellness empire; the culture that built it up and the people who tore it down

The Edge

The Edge

Congratulations to Jane Larking for writing, producing and directing The Edge. Jane Larking is also starring as Annie Murphy, Layton Le Petit as Edward Proxy, Mary-Anne Halpin as Robin, Curtis Clarke as Cody

Immersed in the realm of competitive sports, three young women offer an illuminating exploration of the life of a female athlete amid the world of intense rivalry - both within and beyond the arenas of track, pool, and gym. Yui, a Japanese Paralympic swimmer, grapples not only with the usual highs and lows of sportsmanship but also contends with cultural nuances and biases stemming from her disability. While fellow athletes recognize her prowess, societal attitudes often fall short. Annie, a sprinter driven primarily by her athletic passion, finds herself facing an unexpected challenge when her boyfriend proposes an open relationship. Finally, Sylvia, a First Nations powerlifter, navigates the intricate balance between her physical prowess and her exceptional intellect, struggling with emotional detachment and romantic commitment along the way. Metaphorically, we're all competitors in a game of life, it's just that sport writes down the rules. Because if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Plum

Plum

Daniel Widdowson is in Plum

Football hero Peter "The Plum" Lum is living the dream until he’s diagnosed with a brain disorder. The emotionally charged six-part drama series Plum, starring Brendan Cowell and Asher Keddie, premieres this October on ABC.

Peter ‘The Plum’ Lum (Brendan Cowell) is a living legend in Australian sporting terms. Now retired and reeling towards 50 with all the back pain and ailments a footy player can expect, he lives a humble life in Cronulla. The simplicity of this life is exactly what he wants - kicking the ball with his teenage son Gavin (Vincent Miller), dinner on the deck with girlfriend Charmayne (María Dupláa), followed by a few too many beers at the local pub with his mates Brick (John Tui), Squeaky (Josh McConville) and Magic Matt (Wayne McDaniel).

It looks like Plum is living the dream until an accident at work reveals he has a brain disorder as a result of the hundreds of head injuries and concussions he’s suffered on the field. The new diagnosis doesn’t have its intended effect, as Plum would sooner hide, run and head to the pub for drinks with the boys and pretend everything is peachy than confront things.

But hiding from the truth isn’t easy when your ex-wife (Asher Keddie) cares too much and your son comes to realise the father he worships is falling off his mantle and the game they love might be to blame.
