"Grand Theft Theatre is a sensitive and intelligent exploration of the vital role memory plays in keeping theatre alive."
— THE AGE
“Grand Theft Theatre is a joyful, expansive, intelligent gift of a production” — Theatre Travels
"Here was a piece of theatre that reminded me why we talk about our experiences in theatres and why we NEED to talk about our experiences in theatres: because sometimes they change us." — Sometimes Melbourne
6 theatre makers recreate 12 moments of theatre that changed their lives.
In an exhilarating act of reappropriation, Grand Theft Theatre brings these significant moments back to the stage – moments from shows that toured the world and shows that nobody saw, moments from shows that were thought-provoking, moments from shows that had a profound emotional impact and moments that redefined our ideas of gender, age and disability. What unfolds with each remembered experience is an autobiographical work that is funny, daring and irreverent.
Grand Theft Theatre is a continually-evolving, lo-fi ode to the theatrical legacies that we collectively carry and the personal memories that we desperately need to share.
