One of the headline events at this year's Adelaide Festival is an enchanting production of Stravinsky's opera The Nightingale. It comes from the playful imagination of Robert Lepage. Lepage is an acclaimed French-Canadian writer, director and performer who, during his decades-long career, has reshaped our ideas of what theatre can be.
Also, we hear a scene from Monument by Emily Sheehan, a new Australian play at Red Stitch about a tense encounter between a woman prime minister and her makeup artist, and we learn about the family history that has inspired former ABC journalist Jane Hutcheon to tell her own story on stage in the show Lost in Shanghai.
