Dinner Before Gospel According to Paul — Playhouse Theatre, QPAC
An extraordinary new Australian work, Gospel According to Paul brings a gripping and intimate story to the Playhouse Theatre for a limited 6-night Brisbane season.
The show plays at the Playhouse Theatre, QPAC from 18 to 23 August 2026. Powerful performances and a story that stays with you long after the curtain falls — this is one Brisbane season not to miss. Make a proper night of it at South Bank.
The Playhouse Theatre, QPAC has strict lockout — once the show starts, latecomers may not be admitted until an interval. Don't cut it close. Here's how to plan:

| 7:30pm | 5:30pm | 3 courses | Leave by 7:20pm |
| 8:00pm | 6:00pm | 2 courses + drinks | Leave by 7:50pm |
