From Our Friends: Around Town, Competitions and More

Shark Arm Case

14 – 30 August at the Justice & Police Museum, Corner Phillip Street and Albert Street, Sydney.

Sydney’s bizarre and infamous true crime is brought to life in Shark Arm Case, an immersive murder mystery.

This gripping theatrical event revisits the real events of 1935, when a tiger shark in Coogee Aquarium famously regurgitated a human arm bearing a distinctive tattoo. Audiences will step into the murky underworld of 1930s Sydney, where smuggling, insurance fraud and cold-blooded murder intertwine.

Anne Being Frank

13 – 21 September at the Sydney Opera House.

What if Anne Frank kept writing?

Had she known what was to come, would Anne Frank still have written the famous line: ‘In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart’?

This multi-award-winning play is a complete reimagining of the iconic Anne Frank story.
