As Melbourne hits peak laughing season (it's the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for anyone living under a rock), the Melbourne Shakespeare Company has come to the party with one of the Bard’s silliest plays.

With an overactive imagination, quirky view of the world and some complex relationship issues, Anne Edmonds has some brilliantly trippy ideas about life.

Mr Stink stinks. He positively reeks. He farts and belches on stage (much to the constant amusement of the kiddies) and yes, you can literally see the stench emitting from his threadbare suit.

Few things are more civilised than sitting down to a relaxing high tea on a Sunday afternoon – except maybe enjoying high tea with jazz.

Luke McGregor starts apologizing as soon as he steps on stage and at times you just want to slap him and shout, “you’re a perfectly fine human being, stop worrying!”

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.
