It's a glamourous-looking production, polished to a high sheen, but the underlying script sometimes buckles, with less than dazzling wit.

Fire - A Retrospective | Bangarra Dance Theatre

It's exuberant, unexpurgated, unafraid, edgy and bold. At the same time, it reflects the highest possible standards of athleticism, craft and choreography.

A Streetcar Named Desire is without a doubt the best production that I’ve seen all year, and theatregoers should beg borrow or steal their way into it.

A Woman in Berlin | Splinter Theatre Company

This is the sort of independent theatre that we need. A tight one-hander telling a poignant story in an intimate, largely restrained fashion and yet with a keen awareness of the theatrical.

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.
