Griffin Theatre Company is thrilled to announce its 2025 Season. Griffin’s first full year outside their beloved SBW Stables Theatre presents audiences with a collection of some of the best new Australian stories, including a work from the celebrated Alana Valentine, a heartfelt writing debut from Michelle Lim Davidson, a special return season of Dylan Van Den Berg’s Whitefella Yella Tree, and an irreverent nudist comedy by Ang Collins to finish off the year.
Alongside the main season, Griffin’s artist development program Griffin Lookout will also include two incredible works: SISTREN by lolanthe and Birdsong of Tomorrow by Nathan Harrison.
“Looking back at the last 45 years of Griffin, I find myself marvelling at how our stage has predicted the future, over and over again. Unlike television and film, theatre is unburdened by months and years of post-production. It can be nimble, responsive. 2025 is a year which is all about playwrights as visionary artists, as agenda setters; playwrights who feel the pulse of our community who predict the next wave of social change before it even happens. The nuclear debate, climate change, generational conflict. But amongst all these big ideas, just like in life itself, it’s also about tenderness, forgiveness and community It’s going to be another big, ridiculous, beautiful year—and we can’t wait to embark on it with you,” said Griffin’s Artistic Director, Declan Greene.
