Enter Grace Dunbar- an intelligent and independently minded governess- who is chief suspect for the murder of her employer's volatile and passionate Brazilian wife.The facts point to a crime of passion- but as we go deeper into the story- other suspects emerge. Was it the super-wealthy Mr Gibson who murdered his wife? Was it the housekeeper- who has been keeping her double-life under lock and key? Was it the young maid from a troubled family?We are thrilled to announce a return season of this popular production in November under COVID Safe conditions. Details available at our website.

Having previously sold out their 2015- 2017 and 2018 Australian tours- the quintessential UK reggae group will return to Australia in November.The band has plans to perform in previously uncharted territory- hitting Canberra- Wollongong and the Gold Coast for the first time- as well return performances in Brisbane- Sydney- Melbourne and Perth.'Our previous Australian tours were all so much fun for us - you guys definitely know how to party down under' said founding member songwriter Robin Campbell. 'We've been waiting for a chance to get back out to Australia since we last left- so we're looking forward to getting down under to celebrate 40 years and a new album- in one of our favourite parts of the world.'The '40th Anniversary For The Many Tour' will offer audiences a taste of classic hits like 'Red Red Wine'- 'I Got You Babe' and 'Falling In Love With You'- as well as tracks from the latest release 'For The Many' which will performed live in Australia for the first time.With over forty top 40 hits in their native Britain and sales of over 100 million records- the band - who recently celebrated 40 years together - are one of the biggest UK music acts of all time- and continue to record charting albums while touring across the world including regular trips to Australia where they have firmly found a place in the hearts of fans.UB40 are Robin Campbell (co-lead vocals and guitar)- Duncan Campbell (lead vocals) Earl Falconer (bass- vocal)- Jimmy Brown (drums)- Norman Hassan (percussion- vocals). The band also features Martin Meredith (sax) and Laurence Parry (trumpet)- who have both been in UB40's touring line-up for over twenty years- and Tony Mullings (keyboards) and Ian Thompson (sax) creating a genre-defining synergy of horns and rhythm section that are uniquely UB40.

A groundbreaking technicolour cross between the Buena Vista Social Club- Gorillaz- Ozomatli and Eminem. Veneno came to life in Sydney- Australia when brothers Cesar and Steve Marin began playing music together inspired by the music of bands such as Los Van Van and Irakere they found their path through the music of Cuba.This musical endeavour led to the formation of Veneno. The early addition of young singer-songwriter Carlos Velazquez lifted the project to new heights. With a versatile mix of RNB- pop and soul- together with his domination of the Afro-Latin Sonero traditions- the band had found its unique and original voice.The following years were spent performing around the country- building a healthy fan base and establishing themselves at the forefront of the music industry in Australia.This momentum created the opportunity to collaborate with musicians outside of the Latin genre. The addition of talented young musicians Ivan Pineda- Marcus Salone- Daniel Goodacre and Dominic Kirk enabled the band to incorporate advanced elements of Funk- Reggae- Jazz and Rock into their music. This evolution contributed to the band's success- becoming the first Australian-Latin ensemble to make its mark in the global music industry.Civic Underground complies with covid safe distancing rules.
