THERE’S murder afoot, friendships under pressure, minds being manipulated and egos running wild in a hotel bedroom – and that’s just the beginning of Ipswich Little Theatre Society’s exciting 2027 season.
From a murder mystery threatening to collapse into theatrical chaos to an Australian social comedy exploring the true meaning of friendship, a chilling psychological thriller and a hilarious backstage farce, there’s something to delight theatre lovers.
The season opens from February 24 to March 13 with Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall, written by Mark Kilmurray and Jamie Oxenbould.
Directed by Jo Robbins, with assistant directors Leanne Bamford and Shane Mallory, this comedy promises a wonderfully chaotic take on the age-old theatrical mantra, “the show must go on”.
From May 26 to June 12, David Williamson’s classic Australian social comedy Money & Friends explores what happens when financial trouble threatens to destroy a comfortable circle of friendships.
Directed by Suzanne Matulich, with assistant director Dorothy Walsh, Money & Friends offers a timely reminder that true friendship is often tested when it matters most.
The season takes a darker turn from September 15 to October 2 with Gaslight (Deceived), Patrick Hamilton’s gripping psychological thriller, adapted by Johanna Wright and Patty Jamieson.
Directed by Dior Austin-Greenhill and Jo Robbins, Gaslight (Deceived) promises suspense, intrigue and a powerful exploration of manipulation and control.
