Any Renaissance Players concert is enriching and rewarding, in a multiplicity of ways.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, if I’m very, very lucky, a production or a performer comes along that stops me in my tracks – one that’s so undeniably good that I’m literally lost for words.

The Ballad of Backbone Joe | The Suitcase Royale

Playing is probably the best way to describe this performance in that it captures both the mood and variety of presented forms.

A night of musical quotations and melodies that have inspired many derivative works in film, theatre and music.

It's a funny thing, excellence, inasmuch as it tends to render the passing of time imperceptible. Lulo and company's abundant, prolific, two-hours-and-then-some concert was over all too soon.

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.
