Nucleus
Gabriel is a nuclear engineer. Cassie is an anti-nuclear campaigner. For nearly thirty years their lives have collided and entwined, with Cassie's cause dominating public opinion across the decades. But with political change rumbling underfoot, Cassie's life's work could yet be undone-and it's all led to this explosive night.Against the enflamed background of one of Australia's most divisive environmental issues, Alana Valentine's tender, surprising new play interrogates the intersection of personal ambition and global responsibility.Nucleus welcomes some of Australia's theatre greats back to Griffin-one of our most celebrated and awarded playwrights Alana Valentine (Ladies Day) and the great Paula Arundell (The Bleeding Tree). Joined by the brilliant Peter Kowitz (The Floating World) and directed by Griffin's very own Associate Artistic Director Andrea James (swim, Jailbaby), Nucleus tears through long-drawn battle lines to reveal what's at our core.
Karim
'This play is not simply a work of fiction. It is a cultural document, a mirror held up to a nation still learning how to see itself fully.' - Joanne KeeTo succeed in life is to be good with one's hands. For Joe, that means turning scrap into treasure. For Karim, that means learning the strings of his neighbour Abdul's oud.In the rural town of Tahmoor, Joe and Karim-father and son-farm Lebanese cucumbers on borrowed land. Both born in Australia and unmoored from their family's ancestral roots in Lebanon, Joe is satisfied with his lot, while Karim yearns for something more. When father and son are suddenly evicted, Abdul offers them shelter-and an unexpected path back to their heritage.As Abdul teaches Karim the oud, their music stirs something deeper: a longing for connection, identity, and a world beyond the stillness of Tahmoor.'Elazzi has a proven eye for blending the tender and humorous' - ArtsHub'James Elazzi's work embodies the intersection of Queer identity, migration and culture in a way that is both urgent and timeless.' - Qtopia

But they are asking Nirmala and her people to pay a heavy price.A gripping new play from S.
