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.

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.

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.

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.
