Theatre for Everyone. Exciting. Extraordinary. Explosive.

Based in Kirribilli, on the edge of Sydney Harbour, Ensemble Theatre is committed to performing and presenting the best of international plays, well-loved classics and new Australian works.

WHAT’S ON

Anna Samson wearing green jumper, looking to the side

DIAL M FOR MURDER

Made famous by Alfred Hitchcock’s world-renowned 1950’s film, Jeffrey Hatcher's spine-tingling new adaptation is crackling with suspense, intrigue and unexpected surprises.

A confident older man in a blue suit poses with folded arms, standing in front of a red background with a gold picture frame around his upper body.

THE SOCIAL LADDER

With his signature satirical bite, David Williamson AO dissects the fragile performance of status — and the outrageous lengths we’ll go to just to be seen.

Two women pose back-to-back against a dark gradient background. One wears a fur stole and has wavy hair, while the other wears elegant gloves, a blue dress, and vintage earrings. Both have confident, serious expressions.

BETTE & JOAN

Anton Burge’s deliciously wicked two-hander rips back the curtain on the set where egos clashed, tempers flared, and a legendary feud hit boiling point.

A smiling woman with long brown hair and a green top stands beside an older man in a suit and tie, both posed against a bright red background.

84 CHARING CROSS ROAD

A heartwarming true story of friendship, 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD celebrates the enduring bonds forged through letters, books, and a shared love of words.

A smiling woman with wavy brown hair, wearing a denim shirt over a white top, gestures with one arm extended against a plain, light-coloured background.

THE ROOMMATE

THE ROOMMATE is a dark comedy about two very different women who clash, reinvent themselves, and discover that sometimes the biggest risk is opening the door to change.

An elderly man wearing a knitted hat and jumper sits next to a greyhound against a bright red background, both looking directly at the camera with serious expressions.

THE DAPTO CHASER

THE DAPTO CHASER is a biting, black comedy about chasing dreams, racking up debts, and the cut-throat world of greyhound racing.

Smiling older man with grey hair and beard wearing a blue blazer over a white T-shirt featuring a black-and-white portrait of another elderly man, standing in front of a solid red background.

THE SHADOW OF FAME

Blending wit, warmth and unflinching honesty, join actor Daniel Mitchell on a deeply personal journey through fame, family and the complex bond between father and son.
