You can get your tickets now to see this at The Engine Room on our website at https://www.bendigoregion.com.au/arts-culture-theatres/event/war-of-the-worlds

We’re excited to officially announce that War of the Worlds (with D'faces of youth arts Inc. and Arena Theatre Company ) is part of the 2025 Adelaide Festival program!

In a groundbreaking collaboration spanning more than a thousand kilometres of mallee scrub and desert, country teens bunker down to survive the War of the Worlds.

Performed simultaneously in three locations by exceptional local casts, young people across two states hold tight to their friends, their noise cancelling headphones and whatever scraps of news they can get.

Part sci-fi thriller and part love letter to the resilience of today’s teens, experience the invasion from Whyalla, Barmera or Bendigo; whichever is closest for you.

Our Story

Meaning ‘gather together’ or ‘meeting place’ in the language of the local Dja Dja Wurrung people, Bendigo’s Ulumbarra Theatre rises majestically from what was once the Sandhurst Gaol.

The theatre is a redevelopment of the gaol, which operated from 1863 until 2004. Today you walk into an extraordinary arts and community facility and events venue that cleverly fuses heritage-listed 1860s penitentiary architecture and contemporary design.

Red brick guard towers and an imposing granite facade frame the new entrance. Inside, the box office is housed in a repurposed cell block.

Visit Ulumbarra to take in a performance by a major national and international performing artists and touring companies, join a guided tour, experience Cell 26 or hold your own event.
