The best night of theatre ever, this. It’s a terrific experience to see a Shakespeare play in an as near to an authentic environment as possible without going all the way to modern London, it's like a time travelling experience.

You’re sitting in a room at the North Melbourne Town Hall, a bare room room with two musicians harmonising sweet, whimsical tunes. Enter Wil Greenaway.

Pike St comprises a lot of small tender stories set in one big story, all happening on stage at once through a kind of physical theatrical mediumship, almost magical except it isn’t: it’s the skill of Nilaja Sun, the darling of one woman performance.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
