Red Phoenix Theatre is a resident company at the Goodwood Theatre and is dedicated to producing only Adelaide premieres*.
Red Phoenix is known as Adelaide’s ‘premiere’ theatre company as it is dedicated to producing only plays which have not previously been performed in Adelaide. This includes new works, unexplored classics, and fresh adaptations of great works.
Red Phoenix celebrates the power of the theatre to illuminate our common humanity and to play an active role in connecting, energising and transforming a diverse community.
This is the Red Phoenix Theatre mission.
Founding Artistic Director, Michael Eustice says,
“Our commitment to bringing only plays not previously performed in Adelaide has made Red Phoenix a unique addition to Adelaide’s vibrant theatre scene. Each year we bring plays by award winning playwrights or plays that have been highly successful elsewhere to Adelaide audiences for the first time.
In 2020, Red Phoenix Theatre made a decision to produce plays which explore current and important social issues. While we still seek to entertain and have fun through creating live theatre, we also want to engage our audiences in discussions about the world we live in and the roles we each play in making our world better today and for future generations. Our recent productions, Blue Stockings (gender equality), The Laramie Project (homophobia), Festen (child abuse), Terror (terrorism), Cyprus Avenue (mental health) and The Trip to Bountiful (aging) are clear examples of this mission. Going forward we will continue to tackle big issues, sometimes with drama and sometimes with outrageous comedy. We look forward to you joining us again soon.”
