Our friends at have a terrific show coming up this August! Details below - don’t miss this one 👀🔥

“Catherine at Avignon”
Written by Paul Gilchrist
9 - 19 August 2023
Showing at
231 Oxford St, Darlinghurst
Tix at www.subtlenuance.com

In a world of corruption, decadence and intrigue, a lone woman confronts the most powerful institution of her times.

Set in fourteenth century France,
and inspired by actual events,
“Catherine at Avignon” is the story
of an extraordinary personality. Branded a no-one by her society,
Catherine fearlessly took on kings and queens. Avignon would be her greatest challenge.

B***y and bloody, exuberant and irreverent, this audience favourite returns to the stage.

Our friends at (including fabulous Ship’s Cat alum ❤️) are casting actors for the debut of a new, full-length work at KXT on Broadway in July 🦷

From the mind of Erica J. Brennan, The Hero Leaves One Tooth is an abrasive, operatic and downright visceral new work.

Lovely post-show wrap up, thank you Theatre Travels! 💖💖💖

"...to say that I wanted more is an understatement. This play encourages its audience to know their worth, have a true sense of self and passion in what they do, just like Dorothy Levitt herself. If this is an indication of the high standard of the Ship’s Cat Theatre Company, I look forward to their future productions." - Lauren Donikian

What the reviewers are saying...

🔥 “This is not a stuffy, pedantic bio-play but a type of drawing room farce. It’s littered with brilliant one-liners and terrific comic set ups and, under the direction of Cam Turnbull, the whole thing feels like a parody…” - Theatre Reds

🔥 “It’s a fine tuned, calibrated effort from Ship’s Cat Theatre Company to deliver on their mantra of female-centric stories with laughter to connect, create empathy and exact change.” - Sydney Theatre Reviews

🔥 “[Lib Campbell] is genuinely moving when she breaks like a vase at the end. She also has some great lines.” - Sydney Morning Herald

🔥 “Hannah Tayler's set is a succinct gem: as snug as a chocolate in a box.” - Sydney Morning Herald

🔥 "Lib Campbell gives a fierce, compelling performance as Dottie Levitt... There’s a lot going on inside Dottie’s friend, Bella Savory, and Zoe Crawford conveys this well, in a finely textured performance... Alex Spinks gives an understated, well measured performance as Selwyn ‘Winnie’ Edge who loves Dottie but can’t contain her wilful nature." - Sydney Arts Guide (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
