The end result of a good contemporary dance performance incorporating elements of theatre and multi-media is that it should be greater than the sum of its parts

Stephen House’s new play Borrowed Time is an intriguing black comedy about the lives of seven aging television celebrities reunited decades after their stars have faded.

Committed to producing pioneering performances, Ride On educates, enlightens, challenges and to me, succeeds in everything theatre should be.

This latest offering from ATYP, explores the idea of conflict in its many forms, from school bullies, to yammering neighbours, to young men at war.

Michael Dalley is fast becoming the “King of Melbourne Cabaret” and the return season of Intimate Apparel cements his reputation.

This play recounts true events of Australia’s first white theatre performance in 1789, complete with convicts in chains and floggings at dawn.

It’s a clever concept and almost everything about this play is what good theatre is all about: it has action, it has great acting, it has comedy, it uses the stage well, it has pace, it has energy, and it has story (two in fact).
