The Sunset Limited is not light entertainment by any means, but is a thought-provoking and engrossing study of two characters attempting to bridge the gap between irreconcilable worldviews.

Good Evening: The Sketches of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

The sketches range from old fashioned bawdy tits and bum humour, to delightful nonsense. Not every sketch is first class, but then sketch comedy has always been a hit and miss affair.

Pinchgut Opera’s latest offering of Francesco Cavalli’s L’Ormindo at the City Recital Hall serves up a coquettish little dish of comedy with lashings of ravishing 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.
