Five time ARIA Award winning artist Katie Noonan has released her 30th studio album in 2026:
Alone but All One.
The album is an intimate and poignant exploration of love in all its stages and features
Katie's first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is a
powerful and delicate offering with Katie's piano and a string quartet the only
accompaniment for her exquisite vocal performance.
This album is for anyone who's gone through a life shift - not just separation, but grief
uncertainty, or quiet reinvention" reveals Katie "It's music for sitting with things. For
remembering we're not alone, even in solitude. It's personal, but I hope it will resonate in a
way that becomes collective."
Alone but All One is a return to something essential. Musically, it is
very stripped back - just Katie, her piano and a string quartet, recorded live in her loungeroom on Gubbi Gubbi Country in the hills behind Nambour, Queensland.
It feels like a deep breath before the next chapter. The creative intention is clear: to honour
this moment, share it with care, and trust that others will feel themselves in it too.
Acclaimed touring theatre company Come You Spirits' brings Shakespeare's Hamlet vividly to life in an intimate, gallery setting - a gripping 1.5hour production performed by our principal cast, capturing the full sweep of betrayal, grief and revenge that has held audiences for over 400 years.
Expect the immersive, full-production quality this company is known for: rich costume, striking design and an immersive, emotionally charged performance style that brings Shakespeare's language roaring into the present.
Whether you're a lifelong lover of the Bard or senior student studying this play, this is the very heart of Hamlet.
For students the production offers a rare chance to see the play's themes, language and characters come alive off the page, sharpening the kind of insight that makes for a genuinely original critical response.
