Robots vs Art is just as much fun as the title suggests. Like all good comedy, it is underpinned by serious questions – in this case, about the role of art and the nature of humanity – and leaves you thinking as well as laughing.

I loved this show. At the end of it I felt like having a quick drink, going back into the theatre and watching it all over again. And I wasn’t alone.

Angels in America is an astonishing piece of theatre. I’m not sure how else to describe it. It is epic and sweeping and moving and hilarious and tragic and poetic and complex and unbelievably, unbelievably beautiful.

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.

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.
