Erin Clare’s star quality is evident from the opening song, Take That Look Off Your Face, all the way to its reprise finale, exhilaratingly sustained for seventy minutes by virtuoso vocalisation and a captivating stage presence.

Theology and philosophy are not centre stage here. Rather empathy and human connection.

This production of Grease the Musical was playful, powerful and polished and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the story and the characters.

Like rain she is beautiful, playful and kind, but don't splash in the puddles without watching the sky. Like a storm she’ll suddenly pour down fierce, unapologetic and vulgar but deliciously so.

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.
