Vere (Faith) is an absolute tour de force. Sarah Goodes has directed a stunning production of John Doyle’s play, and it is beautifully performed by a stellar ensemble cast. This is one of the best shows I have seen this year.

Summertime in the Garden of Eden is an utterly fabulous work of theatre. It’s a perfect way to close out Griffin’s 2013 season.

If there is a good musical version of Carrie extant, it is not this one – it’s easy to see why this was a Broadway flop.

The Cake Man is a seminal piece of Indigenous theatre, and this production at Belvoir St does Robert J Merritt’s classic script proud. It is a difficult play to watch, but an important one.

Frenetic and boisterous, the show is staged with little in the way of set or props, but a lot of very exuberant and uproarious performances, the strong ensemble cast mostly making meals of their characters.

Beck surprises and compels with her thoughtful, carefully constructed, subtle, unclassifiable songs, while Martinez thrills with her scintillating performance skills.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
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.
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
