What's On

The weather app, on my phone, at a party
 

_It’s too easy to not talk to a single person_ 

_I’m still young but I’m already reminiscing_ 

_People are flaky and will always cancel last minute, I did that last night but that’s totally different, I had a good reason_ 

The weather app, on my phone, at a party tackles the quintessential feelings of isolation and loneliness that come with transitioning into adulthood. Quirky and absurdist, it asks the question: 'does it get any better?' 

Devised by the EMBOLDEN Ensemble at St Martins Youth Arts Centre, this new work interrogates what we owe each other and what we owe ourselves, and why these things seem to be in conflict with one another. Created by young people who are navigating (with little success) the pivotal moment of change in their lives, this performance is full of anxiety and joy, comedy and melancholy. 

Maybe we all might just have to accept that crying on your birthday is part of life. 

Made possible thanks to City of Melbourne Arts Grants, Cybec Foundation, John Truscott Design Foundation, and ADFAS Yarra.

    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.

    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.
