An anthology of South Australia’s radical stage moments — reimagined by Flinders Drama Centre

Flinders Drama Centre is pleased to introduce their upcoming production of The Shock of the New in Adelaide; a curated anthology of scenes from pivotal South Australian theatre productions — works that challenged form, ignited cultural debate, and helped reshape our understanding of what theatre can be.

Directed by Chris Drummond and performed by the graduating actors of the Bachelor of Performance (Honours), the production transforms archival research into dynamic live theatre. From iconic breakthroughs to little-known provocations, this vivid, shape-shifting evening of performance offers both celebration and interrogation of Adelaide’s radical theatrical past.

This bold new performance season runs from August 6–9 in the Matthew Flinders Theatre at Flinders University’s Bedford Park campus.
