Announcing a New Venue and a 2026 Season filled with South Australian premieres.
The Goodwood Theatre
After a wonderful 9 years and 21 productions at Holden Street Theatres, Red Phoenix Theatre is on the move. We are thrilled to share that from the beginning of 2026 we will become a resident company at the Goodwood Theatre. We are very grateful to Chris Iley (Director) and Simone Avramidis (Artistic Director) at the Goodwood Theatre for this tremendous opportunity to continue our mission of staging only Adelaide premiere productions in their awesome venue.
Season 2026
A PROMENADE OF SHORTS – Season 3
Join us for a mini-festival of 10 minute plays, ranging from family drama to hilarious mayhem, performed by 28 actors. At each performance three separate audiences will promenade between the three Goodwood Theatre venues. During the two intervals there will be a welcoming bar and live entertainment.
Discover what Dr Johnson and Mrs Thrale really got up to at tea, titter at the man unwittingly trapped in Farce, anticipate what happens when three girlfriends reunite, observe Judith as she tries to select the bottle of wine her husband deserves, debate whether the family’s hospital Facebook posts are hilarious or informative, witness how two people cope when their spouses with dementia move into residential care, reflect on whether the debt counsellor really does have an ingenious solution to money problems, wonder at why two men have formed a queue…and why are they waiting! and take a hilarious ride as a family rehearse in their living room for their upcoming road trip.

MACHINAL by SOPHIE TREADWELL
In a world driven by routine and ruled by expectation, one woman’s life spirals from quiet discontent to unthinkable violence. Trapped in a loveless marriage and suffocating under the weight of daily life, she dares to seek something more—only to find herself hurtling toward a shocking fate. Sophie Treadwell’s Machinal is a gripping psychological drama, rich in tension and atmosphere. Inspired by true events, it’s a powerful portrait of a woman pushed beyond her limits.

THE THUNDERBOLT by ARTHUR WING PINERO
💥 The Thunderbolt ignites when a wealthy bachelor and owner of a brewery dies—without a will—and his estranged, bickering siblings scramble for a fortune they believe is theirs. But when a secret daughter steps forward, the gloves come off. Arthur Wing Pinero’s razor-sharp comedy crackles with inheritance intrigue, family feuds, and moral reckonings. A biting, brilliant Edwardian satire that still hits home today. Don’t miss this deliciously dramatic battle of bloodlines and bank balances!
