All These Pretty Things

By Tracey Yarad
Directed by David Deblinger
Produced by Tracey Yarad in association with The Australian Theatre Festival NYC

When a 23-year marriage implodes, one woman turns heartbreak into a razor-sharp musical confession that’s as funny as it is fearless. #TrueStory Part memoir, part concert, part catharsis, All These Pretty Things is Tracey Yarad at her most vulnerable —and most powerful. What begins as a deeply personal unraveling becomes an outlandish, seemingly impossible dream brought to life. From Australia to New York City, this is a skin shedding story of reinvention, resilience, and radical honesty. Performed more than 80 times worldwide — including two seasons at Edinburgh — the show has left audiences floored, many moved to tears, others laughing out loud. Yarad’s ability to “bridge dreams into reality,” as one audience member described it, is one of her superpowers. Nuanced with razor wit and underscored by her skill as a world-class musician and songwriter, the evening unfolds like music itself: tension, release, resolution. A masterclass in turning poison into medicine and how to move on. A fully staged production and winner of Best of Music at the 2026 Adelaide Fringe. 

ALL THESE PRETTY THINGS may contain strobe lighting.

CIRC

By Eddie Grey
Produced by Neil Gooding Productions in association with The Australian Theatre Festival NYC

A staged reading of the 2024 ATF New Play Award Winner. When an eighteen year old boy undergoes an elective circumcision, he’s confronted with his soon-to-be-excised body part in human form, demanding answers. What follows is an exploration of Australian queerness, wherein the boy is thrust back into his seminal sexuality-forming memories in order to provide an answer, so that he can wake up from this nightmare.
