subtlenuance
writing and producing independent australian theatre
ABOUT US
 “a small, fiercely independent company of proven integrity… [their work] augurs well, not only for subtlenuance’s future as a distinctive, important, independent voice in Australian theatre, but for the future of Australian theatre at large.”
Australian Stage Online


"subtlenuance is one of Sydney’s most vital, active, prolific and innovative small production companies."
Crikey

subtlenuance
is dedicated to theatre that is ambitious, independent, challenging and engaging. Our sole focus is the production of original Australian work; work that is physically exciting, emotionally enthralling, and intellectually stimulating.

We believe theatre is a forum for many voices. For this reason, it is an art form especially suited to both the exploration and creation of subtlety and nuance. Through these two qualities our world becomes richer.


Since our inception in 2008, subtlenuance has produced twelve original productions to remarkable critical acclaim:  
‘So cleverly interwoven with perceptive questioning is his writing that you begin to feel as though Gilchrist's understanding of the human psyche is on a different more-in-tuned level.”
The Blurb


“drenched in an exceptional ability to observe human behavior and thought.
This play could be staged anywhere in the world and it will resonate with the audience.”
Ticket Stubbies

“Like Stoppard, Gilchrist is great with words... a significant achievement in writing, direction and staging... obviously a playwright worth watching.”
Media Culture
 
“it doesn't get a whole lot better than written, and directed, by Paul Gilchrist” Australian Stage Online
 
"a well crafted emotional hour of must-see theatre”
Aussie Theatre

“work of originality and independence…Giorgi has created two intriguingly complex characters in this astute portrayal of human life and desires”
The Blurb
 
“I can't really bring to mind the last time I laughed as loud and, almost amidst it, felt the agony of intense, searing tragedy.”
Australian Stage Online

“a thoroughly enjoyable night of mischievous satire, however let the directionless in the audience be warned, this is a production that really makes you sit up and examine what you’re doing with your life.” Alternative Media
 
"a profound piece of theatre ... deserves a tip of the hat to subtlenuance’s efforts, talent and integrity."
[small] LUSTS

“a well crafted, tasty piece of small, intense theatre that ponders some deeply philosophical questions”
The Advertiser

"See this play to experience the beauty of Elizabethan language that was not written by Shakespeare or Marlowe"
Stage Whispers
