JUTE Theatre Company Review

I have been away from Cairns for a few years and it is great to come back here to find that Jute continues to present some amazing theatre. I have to say I don't always understand them, and sometimes they may be about subjects that I wouldn't normally be interested in, however............. I find their productions, sets and acting so good, that that in itself is theatre enough for me.
I'm looking forward to seeing many more superb productions in a beautiful theatre

A friend and I bought online tickets to see Proper Solid at Jute Theatre Company. Wow what a wonderful funny show!
Jute is a very warm and friendly place to visit, nice helpful staff, great bar service, plenty of seating and on to top it off, entertaining live productions. Go visit Jute Theatre Company, well worth the time and expense.

Absolutely superb acting and overall production. The story was so real, well done!

From booking my ticket with Trybooking to the end of the play my enjoyment of the the experience was near seamless. What I did not like were the two intervals. Audiences do not mind watching the set being changed while present in my opinion: it heightens the experience of theatre, i.e. this is not real, this is art.
I liked the play very much for its complexity, the many theatrical devices and traditions incorporated. The fact that it was not a recycled Edwardian play from England was a major plus for me...and that Darwin and PNG were close enough to Cairns to make me feel it was about US and almost 'down home.'
I interacted with a couple who'd lived in PNG. The wife/partner was quick to say that, 'this story was not based on our life, we never mixed with the locals.' I had a thought bubble which said, 'Oh, yes, I'm sure you didn't. Nor had sex with them or have babies with them either.'
The acting was very strong: I especially enjoyed Russell and Old Neville who nearly brought me to tears when he said, 'you may have another father but I'm the only dad you'll ever have.' Congratulations JUTE.

loved it! absolutely new work from the region! i truly reccommend it if you want a taste of local culture.beautiful shows!!

This play could be performed anywhere in the world and receive rave reviews.
The script is tight and very very funny, the message clear as a bell and the actors - particularly Mark Sheppard and Norah Bagiri are breathtakingly good and immeasurably lovable in their performances. I was enchanted.

One of the best regional theatres in regional Qld. Always a good time

I loved the current production Proper Solid....thought provoking, authentic and very very funny. The cast are magnificient in their roles and they had me captivated from start to finish......I truly loved being close to the cast and set to really capture the heart and soul of this splendid production....

Highly recommend The Salt Remains. It was extremely well acted and totally captivating.

Comfortable, small theatre with great shows that suit all tastes.

They are so committed with the arts and performances sector in Cairns , love everything they do!
