PRODUCING PARTNERS
BREAKING THE CASTLE PRODUCTIONS
Breaking The Castle Productions was co-founded by Peter Cook and Sam Henderson as a way of keeping the stage show Breaking the Castle alive and stable throughout COVID 19, and to ensure that the seasons at The Hothouse Theatre in Albury and Riverside Theatres Parramatta were able to happen.
BTC Productions worked closely with QPAC and Oombarra Productions to help successfully deliver the Brisbane season of Breaking the Castle in 2023.
BTC Productions looks forward to working with its new producing partner, Cluster Arts Global, to deliver future seasons of Breaking the Castle in Australia and overseas, with an eye on continuing to develop new Australian work across the mediums of theatre, film and television.
BTC Productions recognises the vision of Jono Perry at QPAC in 2023 which has spring boarded the play to overseas seasons in Edinburgh and London, and future seasons in Australia and beyond.
The proud home of live performance in Queensland for almost 40 years, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors to over 1,200 performances annually.
