This multimedia immersive experience, with its constantly changing visuals and sounds aims to build connections and a narrative but misses the mark almost every time.

It’s hard not to gush like a punctured artery over the awesome artistry on show in Dracula, the latest, and arguably greatest, production in the Kip Williams’ cine-theatre universe.

The play’s title refers to the dangers of what can happen to democracy: first, you count heads, and if that doesn’t work, you must crack them.

Superbly performed by the ensemble, this collaboration is unlike any of Bangarra’s previous works and introduces Australian audiences to an entirely new physical vocabulary that is both powerful and lyrical.

With sassy humour and dazzling routines, Chicago deals with the heady intersection of murder and celebrity, with a dose of corruption and adultery thrown into the mix.

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.
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
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.
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.
