Uked!

Presented by the Bondi Theatre Company Stenlake performs alongside charismatic singer-songwriter and actor Josephine Birch.

Uked! is playwright Jane Cafarella’s love letter to the humble ukulele.

It’s the hilarious and poignant story of Karla. Dumped on her 50th birthday by her violin-playing boyfriend, Karla buys a ukulele and joins a dating site, learning that love and the ukulele have a lot in common.

Audience members can sit back and enjoy the show OR they can bring their ukes and sing and play- along too! A screen displays all the chords and lyrics.

Ian Stenlake will play thirteen different characters - including all of Karla’s YouTube ukulele teachers and love interests.

Best known for starring in the TV series Stingers and Sea Patrol and seen most recently at the Sydney Opera House in The 39 Steps, Stenlake took up the ukulele during Covid to entertain his child.

Uked! is directed by Ali Bendall and also features on-stage Kristin Harris and Jamie Sturgess.

My Fair Lawyer

Wait there’s more on the same set the  comedy My Fair Lawyer with an all-star cast.

“Another beauty in his long line of short sharp productions that poke fun at the legal profession and life in general.” The Brag.

Strap yourself in for a night of riotous fun with Tony Laumberg’s 7th play  under the deft direction of Richard Cotter. My Fair Lawyer heralds a  return of two of Laumberg’s most popular characters, outspoken and pompous lawyer, Henry Crowley, and his sarcastic and perpetually inebriated wife, Margaret.

All hell breaks loose when Cheryl turns up at their door from Cessnock claiming she his Henry’s daughter and asks for a job at his law firm.  Adding to the chaos the shonky shrink Dr Punjab who gives curious marital advice to Henry and Margaret.

Featuring Martin Portus, Deirdre Campbell, Jade Michailidis as Cheryl Gantanter Singh Gill as Dr Punjab.

PLUS Bonus concert. DAD DAUGHTER UKULELE with Stukulele & Rosie on June 21.
