SIREN THEATRE CO
“Bloody Incredible... I literally sat there with my jaw dropped... never have I seen poetic drama so vividly realised by a performance...chilling subconscious menagerie struggling beneath our waking state.” - Miles Merrill
"Gaul and her team have created one of the best independent shows of the year thus far and have set a new benchmark for what can be achieved." Jason Blake
“A Siren call to Sydney’s independent theatre scene proving that less can often be more:” Nicholas Pickard
"Kate Gaul, one of Sydney’s most insightful, confident and versatile directors …. creates a production that sings with all the music and poeticism of White’s text. This is an entertaining, imaginative, first-rate and crystal-clear production of one of the most idiosyncratic plays ever written by an Australian playwright. It’s no fusty museum piece, but should be seen by everyone with an interest in the handful of plays that make up the Australian theatrical canon.” Ben Neutze
"Directed with subtle focus and clarity by Kate Gaul, the 70 minutes are a kaleidoscope of imagery made dynamic by sustained energy and intelligence. Simplicity and complexity combine in a virtually flawless production … Not to be missed” Diana Simmonds
“…every element in this production is in step and working together to create this fascinating and ultimately heartbreaking piece of theatre.” Ben Neutze

Siren Theatre Co is an independent theatre company based in Sydney. We commission and produce new Australian plays, re-invented classics and work for young people and families and give artists and audiences bold, imaginative theatrical experiences.
Siren is always evolving, but some things hold true: the work should look ridiculous in any other medium. We tell a good story. We keep the actor at the centre. We don’t add to the crap in the world. The work should be beautiful, rigorous, imaginative and timely.
We are particularly interested in female-centred stories and female-centred ways of seeing — both telling stories about women and interpreting existing stories through a female-centred lens. Supporting exciting female artists is fundamental to this. It is not exclusive, but it is a preference that shapes the work we choose.
At its heart, Siren makes theatre because theatre is the form the story demands.
