Belvoir St Theatre has announced its 2027 season, with nine productions and two late-night shows set to take over the Sydney theatre across the year.
The program brings together major international plays, new Australian writing and First Nations storytelling, with a mix of established names and emerging artists. From a Tony Award-winning hit to a new work set in Surry Hills, there's something for everyone in the upcoming season.
Here’s what’s coming to Belvoir in 2027.
Game. Set. Match.
Running from: January 7–24, 2027

The Lark
Running from: February 10–March 7, 2027
Noni Hazlehurst stars in The Lark, Daniel Keene’s portrait of Rose, a woman confronting the loss of the inner-city pub that has been her entire world. As gentrification closes in, Rose must consider what comes next.
Stereophonic
Running from: March 20–April 25, 2027

A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess’ dystopian classic is back, in a new adaptation by Tom Wright. At its centre is Alex, a violent teenager who becomes the subject of an experimental treatment designed to eliminate his capacity for crime.

Wish You Were Here
Running from: August 28–September 19, 2027
Set in Iran in 1978, Wish You Were Here centres on a group of friends whose everyday lives are increasingly shaped by the political unrest around them. As the situation deteriorates, they must decide whether to stay or leave.
The Landlord

Dancing at Lughnasa
Running from: November 6–December 12, 2027
Belvoir's season will close with Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa. Set in rural Ireland in 1936, the play follows five sisters whose quiet lives are disrupted by a desire for freedom.
Up Late at Belvoir
The theatre’s late-night program is also back in 2027 with two performances co-presented by Sydney Festival.
There's Redfern Renaissance, which is back for its third year, celebrating Redfern’s artists, storytellers and cultural leaders through music, performance and conversation. There's also Up Late with Bianca Hunt, which will combine comedy and live music across three nights.
