What's On

A Chance to Address the Amish Rumours
 

Stephanie Hare grew up off the electricity grid without the internet, phone reception, TV, or even a fridge. When her mother was twenty-three, she left Melbourne, bought a goat, and built a house out of firewood in the middle-of-nowhere Tasmania. Now Steph is twenty-three and she’s written a comedy show about it.

Her little brother used to finger knit harnesses and ride the goat like a horse; her father spent weeks living in a cave; her mother snuck into the neighbours’ paddocks at night to shear their sheep; and Steph thought that was all pretty normal until she moved to Melbourne.

This is a whimsical show that encapsulates the absurdity of rural life, the chaos of being a twenty-something, and how much Steph loves Instagram reels.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
