Belvoir

Belvoir engages Australia’s most prominent and promising playwrights, directors, actors and designers to realise an annual season of work that is dynamic, challenging and visionary. As well as performing at home, Belvoir regularly takes to the road, touring to major arts centres and festivals both nationally and internationally. Both the Upstairs and Downstairs stages at Belvoir St Theatre have nurtured the talents of many renowned Australian artists: actors including Geoffrey Rush, Cate Blanchett, Catherine McClements, Deb Mailman and Richard Roxburgh; writers such as Tommy Murphy, Jonathan Gavin, Lally Katz and Kate Mulvany; directors including Benedict Andrews, Wesley Enoch, Rachael Maza Long and ex-Belvoir Artistic Director Neil Armfield. Belvoir’s position as one of Australia’s most innovative and acclaimed theatre companies has been determined by such landmark productions as The Diary of a Madman, The Blind Giant is Dancing, Cloudstreet, Measure for Measure, Keating!, Parramatta Girls, Exit the King, The Alchemist, Hamlet, Waiting for Godot, Namatjira, The Sapphires, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Stuff Happens.
