Since in both philosophy and experience, the journey is, arguably, the most edifying part, Victoria Haralabidou’s debut play is, at once, mystifying and fascinating.

The Political Hearts Of Children is the latest from a tiny gem of a production company (subtlenuance) I've come to hold in the highest regard.

Gravas Productions has taken Euripides' rather enduring play (first performed going on 2,500 years ago) and, unfortunately, turned it into something far less than 'you ripper!', if you please.

The dog. Man's best friend. And playwright CJ Johnson amply demonstrates our canine companions may well be, at least in some cases, smarter than we think.

With a canny script, deceptively simple yet wonderfully executed set-pieces and a rollicking sense of fun punctuated by a live band for the scene transitions, this is cheekily broad humour at its best.

The Tap Pack is so not edgy. It's straight down the middle. And that's not a bad thing.

The latest blockbuster musical to hit our stage, The Addams Family, opened at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre this week, and from the moment the orchestra started up with that familiar theme, they held the audience in the palm of their dismembered hand.

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.
