The cast of Pornography deserve much of the credit for making this play work by capturing the essence of the human condition and imprinting messages into minds that last long after the audience has left the theatre.

This is a dark tale played out in a brilliantly designed and almost surreal world, with a plot that combines horror, humour and intelligence.

This is a charming and magical performance that is genuinely great for kids and grown ups alike.

Les Misérables returns to the Adelaide stage, co-directed by Joshua Penley and Shane Davidson. Featuring a seminal score by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, the musical follows an entourage of characters in their pursuit of redemption, revolution and love. Staging Les Misérables is obviously a huge undertaking. While there were some absolutely wonderful elements, at the end of the day it failed to impress.

For Sir Terry Pratchett fans the play is laugh-out-loud funny, incessantly pleasurable, and totally memorable. With its likeable mixture of satire and humanity, the production is engaging, active and smart, if a tad congested. Yet as a ludicrous romp it's difficult not to enjoy.

The show was certainly hard to fault; the fifty production students and fourteen acting students having created a chic and well-oiled production of professional standard.

State Theatre Company's revitalisation of Top Girls demonstrates that the play continues to be pertinent despite being 30-years-old.

There have been many single handers in recent years – all done excellently, with talent, creativity and salient messages. But this one stands out from them all.
