The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged)

As we speed through the bible at a motion sickness inducing pace, certain styles are employed to help cut through the fatty parts and get to the point.

Just a year after its debut season, the youth dance extravaganza that is Fast+Fresh (thanks in no small measure, I'm sure, to Western Sydney Dance Action (WSDA) director, Olivia Ansell's commitment) has tripled in size.

Was I dreaming? Had I fallen asleep during the 7:30 Report and fleshed it out with Harry Potter and a vaudeville Bugs Bunny episode? No, I was awake, and it was reality I was glad to be in for Pennies from Kevin, a revue running-joke with a thought-provoking punch line.

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.
