What's On

BMEC has had to make the difficult decision to cancel this show. Sadly, ticket sales haven’t reached the level we need to confidently move forward and we felt it was best to make this decision now rather than waiting until the last minute to reduce disruption to your plans. We understand this may be disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding. If you’ve already purchased tickets, our Box Office team will be reaching out to you soon to help with refunds or exchanges. Thank you again for your ongoing support and patience and we look forward to welcoming you to the venue again soon! – BMEC Team

At the grand opening of the Taj Mahal, the most beautiful building in the world, the Emperor decrees that nothing more beautiful shall ever be built again. To ensure this, he orders two imperial guards to perform a horrendous task. Featuring a heartbreakingly funny friendship put to the ultimate test and existential banter reminiscent of Beckett and Stoppard, Guards at the Taj mixes witty black comedy with the bloodiest deeds of Greek tragedy.

Adapted by playwright Julian Larnach from Favel Parrett’s award-winning debut novel, Past the Shallows is an ode to brotherhood and a heart wrenching, lyrical exploration of mortality, family secrets and the capacity for both brutality and tenderness within contemporary masculinity.
