Taken at its broadest, Natalia Savvides' The Lightbox is a wide-ranging meditation on the human condition: what makes us tick and what happens when said ticking turns to tocking, or an irregular rhythm.

Pursuing truth in oneself becomes a frustratingly impossible task: are we no more than a series of roles, with no underlying coherence or unity? No self beyond the personae we have created?

Beached is really fabulous theatre: unusual, incisive, and touching. Not to be missed.

One of Williams’ great gifts is to bring you into the midst of these intensely problematic relationships at a point by which old destructive patterns are clearly well entrenched, and things are about to dramatically come to a head.

This is work which leaps off the stage with a strange, visceral magnetism.

Claire Edwardes is, of course, regarded as one of the most innovative and important percussionist of her generation. Her focus this particular evening was on marimba.

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.
