New Australian plays, an acclaimed First Nations work, adaptations of Helen Garner and Virginia Woolf, and the force of nature that is cabaret artiste Meow Meow are among the highlights of Belvoir’s 2025 season, which was launched by Artistic Director Eamon Flack on Monday night (9 September).

Nine plays are featured in the season, including Arrernte playwright Declan Furber Gillick’s critically acclaimed Jacky, a Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) production about a young Aboriginal man navigating the tensions between black and white culture, which Belvoir is co-presenting with Sydney Festival.
