An ordinary dog, whose good fortune and ability to connect with people, catapults him to fame.
Four dusty paws, two pointy ears, one waggly tail... and a heart as big as the outback – that’s RED DOG, Australia’s favourite canine and one of the nation’s all-time favourite films. 

KOKO: A RED DOG STORY, is the final instalment in the Red Dog series and is all about Koko, the red cloud kelpie acting dog who starred as Red Dog in the first film. The film follows Koko's unusual life from puppy to champion show dog, film star and back to family dog; and celebrates why we love dogs - a film for dog lovers everywhere.

“Even though Koko was one in a million and had this unique life, what I’ve learnt from making this film is that everybody’s dog is special because each one makes a big difference in their lives.” - Nelson Woss

The Sapphires is one of the Australia’s best-loved stories. Winning multiple awards as a play, film and soundtrack album there was one challenge left and that was to undertake a national tour of Australia. Bringing the raw energy, fun and emotion of this story directly to stages across the nation.
Writer Tony Briggs will direct his work in a version he promises will be the most intimate telling of The Sapphires story yet.


“I hope the audience will feel a fresh sense of connection to a story that has already successfully infiltrated the psyche of the Australian theatre and movie going public and get a sense of joy and understanding of who Aboriginal people are and walk away from ‘The Sapphires’ with a smile on their faces.” - Tony Briggs

Four young Aboriginal women from regional Australia, who like singing country music, suddenly get the chance to change their tune and their lives. Wearing uniforms of sequins, armed only with microphones they find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War.
The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of writer Tony Briggs’ mother. It tells of the incredible journey of a singing group of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing classic soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval. It is an energetic, fun and engaging play that affirms life and the realisation of dreams.
