Who but the very tired and jaded can resist the giddy frisson of young love? With the combination of romance, idealism, prejudice and tragedy delivered with glorious poetic language, Romeo & Juliet has rightly been a great favourite with audiences.

If you've ever been to a convention, conference, congress, colloquium, seminar, tutorial, brainstorm, workshop or breakout session, you'll have something to laugh at, somewhere between the mission and vision statements.

Friday is, essentially, a political satire and the timing could hardly be riper. When we enter the fray and melee, we gather there's been a (yawn!) sex scandal, spicily consummated on the Premier's desk.

In 2003, a train travelling south from Sydney derailed between Waterfall and Helensburgh. Seven people were killed, including the driver, and many more were injured. Countless emergency personnel assisted in the aftermath.

I've a confession. I love the Australian Chamber Orchestra so much, my partner's getting jealous. She's understandably worried my love for it may be greater than my love for her.

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.
