25.01.2022 "Ripcord is one of the most incisive, funny and ingenious comedies I've read in some years, really funny but also really affecting." Mitchell Butel, director of Ripcord by David Lindsay-Abaire and Artistic Director of State Theatre Company South Australia tells us what audiences can expect at the show, with an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes. Ripcord previews start Friday at the Dunstan Playhouse, before opening next week. Performances are selling out and you won't want to miss this hilarious, heartwarming and surprisingly adventurous show. Grab your tickets at: https://statetheatrecompany.com.au/shows/ripcord/.

09.01.2022 "Director Mitchell Butel has a dream cast with Hayes and Johnson in the lead roles. Both give performances that are big and bold, and often laugh-out-loud funny." A fabulous review from The Advertiser marks the perfect start (or re-start) to our season of Ripcord by David Lindsay-Abaire, returning to the stage tomorrow night at the Dunstan Playhouse. Chookas to the talented cast, creatives and crew as they finally take flight with this viciously funny and charmingly affecting... show! Tickets still available for the extended season which runs until 13 December. : https://statetheatrecompany.com.au/shows/ripcord/ Thank you for everyone’s patience over the last couple of weeks.

06.01.2022 Is it time to come out and return to the theatre yet? We're so pleased to hear the news that South Australia will be relaxing restrictions sooner rather than later!
