An Intervention

A Play by Mike Bartlett

23rd June – 4th July

“You’ve become a bit of a pr*ck, haven’t you?”

Ever lost a best friend to their new partner? Or alcohol? Or a political cause? Ever woken up one day to find you don’t even recognise the person they’ve become? Did you let them go, or did you fight tooth and nail to keep them in your life?

An Intervention, by the multi-award-winning Mike Bartlett (SNOWFLAKE, King Charles III), is the story of a friendship pushed to its limits as values diverge. When one friend doesn’t turn up to the protest, the other begins to question everything she thought she knew about him, and before long they discover that their worldviews may be irreconcilable.

“You should have a pint of something deadly like absinthe or meth.”

“I’d prefer port.”

Bartlett’s writing is razor-sharp, playful, surprising, and full of comic intelligence. A two-hander, with a pace and wit reminiscent of Morecombe and Wise, An Intervention is in the safe hands of Sydney comedy duo Brea Macey and Jake Harvey. Directed by theatre veteran Mike Booth, this production by Harvey Family Co. promises an exhilarating night at the theatre.

It’s the kind of theatre that stays with an audience; this play is electrifying.

‘[An Intervention] has Bartlett’s astute wit and extraordinary ability to pinpoint the way maturity can suddenly slip away’

Sydney Pride Festival 2026.

“Connected In Colour.”

To All Community Partners and Event Producers – Be part of Sydney Pride Festival 21st – 30th June 2026.

This year’s theme, “Connected in Colour,” celebrates the strength, diversity, and unity of our LGBTQIA+ community. 2026 also marks a major milestone, 15 years of Sydney Pride as a month-long festival, highlighting its growth into one of Sydney’s most important celebrations of culture, visibility, and connection. The festival will feature a vibrant mix of drag, theatre, live music, art, community events, forums, and fundraisers. We also honour the legacy of the 78ers of the first Sydney Mardi Gras and the impact of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, recognising the history that continues to shape Pride today.

“Connected in Colour is about celebrating the threads that tie us together as a community. No matter our differences, we are united by Pride.”

Glenn Hansen, co-ordinator, Sydney Pride Festival.

LAKSHMI BEE PRESENTS ‘INTO THE LIGHT’ Saturday 6th June 5-8pm

Welcome to Lakshmi Bee! We are a mother and daughter duo on a mission to help heal the planet and people through our sustainable creations and a purpose-driven lifestyle. We devote many hours and months infusing our designs with elegance, luxury and style inspired across multiple eras, building beauty from ashes in a celebration of God’s living creation as well as our own multicultural heritage.
Uniting eastern and western heritage, we are a multinational family of Australian, South Indian, British and Western European origins, with a generational history of fabric production, art, retail and real estate. Having a natural flair for the arts and entrepreneurship from early ages, we first combined our gifts by working together at home, creating custom clothing and art projects before going on to create pieces for school competitions, community programs and church productions. This then led us into gallery exhibitions, special events and runway shows.
Our work is a visual reflection of our dreams, mission and life’s purpose. Every detail holds importance, combining pre-existing items, fabric offcuts and remnants collected from different eras and sourced from around the world – bringing past, present and future together. These statement pieces share stories and illustrate the beauty that can be created from discarded parts pieced together – something truly amazing.
We want to share our love for the arts and personal development to inspire and encourage you to live an enriched life.
As global caretakers, we all have a shared responsibility to respect ourselves, our environment, the people around us, animals and living beings in which we share this planet. Re-thinking the way we live, what we do and what we wear, investing in quality pieces that last, while finding creative ways to reduce waste and re-use the items we already have at home are some of the many ways we can all help today, to prepare a better world for ourselves and the generations to come. 

Join us on this journey in making a global difference and becoming the great people we were created to be.

MONOKROM Mardi Gras – Phil Austin Opens Tuesday 17th 6pm.

PHIL AUSTIN

Phil Austin is a street photographer focused on capturing honest moments of self-expression. At Sydney Mardi Gras, he uses black and white photography to document the power of people being unapologetically themselves. Stripping away color puts focus on emotion, gesture, and human connection — revealing stories that might otherwise be lost in the noise. Phil’s work aims to show that authenticity isn’t just a personal choice, but a public statement with the power to inspire change.t with the power to inspire change.Monokrom Mardi Gras – Phil Austin
