The Sydney Shakespeare Festival's production of King Lear is solid, if somewhat unadventurous. While the first half drags a little, the second makes up for it, the relentless action driving this classic play towards its bloodbath of a conclusion.

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.
