Presented by Jopuka Productions through special arrangement with Watermelon Jam and supported by Red Tree Theatre
Written by award-winning writer Joshua Maxwell, On A Night Like This is set in August 2000, in a sleepy coastal town with a post office, a train station, a cenotaph, and more pubs than parks. Tired of hearing about a girl from their school being selected to star in the opening ceremony, five friends decide to make their own mark on the upcoming Sydney 2000 Games by sneaking into the event, with plans that spiral wildly out of control – nearly causing a disaster that threatens to ruin the entire ceremony. Set amidst the soaring heights of the world’s first defining moment of the new millennium, this story captures the spirit of youthful rebellion and camaraderie.
The final instalment in Joshua Maxwell's South Skies Trilogy, set 19 years prior to the events of Very Happy Children With Bright And Wonderful Futures (presented in 2021 and 2023) and 54 years prior to the events of Space Cadets (co-presented in 2024).
