Past shows Gorge ‘09
Brink Productions strives to communicate complex ideas and feelings with simplicity and insight, in forms that are surprising, challenging, thought-provoking and enriching.
Brink's repertoire includes epic narrative, re-imagined classics, music theatre and children's theatre.
Their acclaimed production When the rain stops falling, which made its debut during the 2008 Adelaide Festival, raised the bar for theatre in Australia and continues to be performed around the country.
Under the inspired artistic direction of Chris Drummond, Brink creates powerfully imaginative theatre through enriching collaborations with artists and non-artists from different disciplines and backgrounds.

Get ready for the funniest, juiciest most disturbing theatre experience of 2010 as Brink Productions’ hilariously unsettling Harbinger, by Matthew Whittet, has its world premiere on August 31 at Space Theatre.
Harbinger, directed by Chris Drummond and starring Nathan O’Keefe, Alex Menglet and Yael Stone follows the story of characters Maddy and Chris after they meet in thrilling circumstances and embark on a journey into the night.
It is a rare and thrilling treat when contemporary blood-soaked horror disgraces the stage, and Harbinger does just that. Harbinger premieres at the Space Theatre on 31 August and plays through to 11 September (previews from August 27). Tickets are available through BASS on 131 246 or www.bass.net.au.
Brink Productions has recently launched a new brand identity, designed in collaboration with leading integrated communications company slipperyfish.
Under the dual leadership of Chris Drummond, Artistic Director, and Kay Jamieson, Executive Producer, Brink’s new brand aligns more closely with the ethos and the image of the company. The new look features a hand-made ‘Brink’ photographed in several environments – reinforcing that every Brink word is different and unexpected.
“We knew slipperyfish was the right fit for Brink for several reasons,” Kay Jamieson said. “They told us that in their world collaboration is paramount, that they create work that’s truly original, unexpected and highly effective and that we could expect to see traditional and non-traditional answers to our marketing needs.”
Brink also officially announced its 2010 program featuring the world premiere of Harbinger by Matthew Whittet; a return season of the widely acclaimed When The Rain Stops Falling by Andrew Bovell, a collaboration with Hossein Valamanesh and Brink Productions; and the 2011 world premiere of Skip Miller’s Hit Songs.
Harbinger promises a thrilling 'boy meets girl, girl eats boy' love story, while the much-loved return season of When The Rain Stops Falling presents an epic piece of theatrical storytelling that has already been hailed by critics as an Australian classic. Skip Miller's Hit Songs is a multi-narrative ensemble work for African and Australian actors and musicians.
Chris Drummond explained the connections and differences between each of the three works.
"While they may be very different in terms of their style, what these three shows have in common is a tremendous sense of theatricality. Each show, in different ways, has an unexpected twist in the tale. Where one is truly hilarious another may be powerfully confronting, but all of them will touch the hearts and minds of those who experience them."
