This would have to be one of the more peculiar plays I’ve seen in recent times – an odd, awkward mishmash of styles and ideas that never seem to really coalesce and yet it undeniably has a certain flair and style, an engaging energy.

They're such ripper riffers, there isn't much need for anything else. Yet there's more besides, including an engaging sense of self-deprecating humour, not necessarily always found in egomaniacal rockstars.

And you thought you had to go to Mardi Gras (Rio, not Sydney) to get the full monty, 'wake up and smell the coffee' carnivale! Uh-uh. A tight-as-a-drum 75 minutes in the concert hall of our bathroom-tiled opera house will do it.

The playing is brilliant, the musical style fresh, and the enthusiasm and love of music abundantly clear.

When we meet Thomas Klopper aged 9 (nearly 10), it is Summer in Amsterdam, Holland, Europe, Northern Hemisphere, Earth, Solar System, Galaxy, Universe, Space. And the year is 1951.

Circus Oz need hardly lift a finger to impress: its motto is enough to express its heart's in the right place. 'Community, diversity, humanity, hilarity' is a world-changing vision; just the ticket at this time of year.

The show is commentary on commentary - and within the first twenty minutes we are suitably in shock and horrified at the mechanism of reality made entertainment

Whilst the concert was a little on the short side, it made up for this in the quality of musicianship and commitment to the music.

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.
