It is a fantastic privilege to attend performances such as these. It raises us lesser mortals to Olympus for a moment.

If you like words, abstract ideas with lucid explanations, plenty of connotations and allusions to free your imagination, and a continual rolling around of these concepts, then you’ll like this show.

The Book of Everything is a kaleidoscope of images, ideas, emotions, characters and possibilities juxtaposed with the harsh realities of domestic life in the wake of World War Two.

It would be hard to dream up two plays more different than Booze Furniture Sex and Nameless. Together, they make a truly bizarre double bill.

The timeless tale of an ambitious yet corrupt King is brought to life on stage by the intersection of historic talent; William Shakespeare and Giuseppe Verdi.

Bite Size is as lovely as the tiny cupcakes they give you in the foyer before the show. It’s not the best collection of short plays that’s ever been put on, but it doesn’t aspire to be.

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.
