The Taming Of The Shrew | Bell Shakespeare

All in all, I can't, and couldn't, rate this production highly enough: no amount of hyperbole or adjectival indulgence would serve to describe it's sheer perfection.

A couple in crisis. A child reciting twisted limericks. A manic nurse. A grand piano. Blood. All the signs are there: you’re taking a journey to the dark side of suburbia in the Sydney Theatre Company’s new production, The City.

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk | Arts Radar and B Sharp

This story canvasses the universal issues of oppression, classism and sexism from a Russian, rural, working class perspective pitched against a backdrop of Christian morality.

The story of Pericles as interpreted by the Bell Shakespeare company is a superstition-laden tragedy in its purest form.

All-in-all, it's a mixed bag. Loyalists will love it.

It’s a lovely set up, with carefully considered characters that are well observed, and as the play progresses there is a nice sense that this pair have much more in common than it first appears.

Flamenco is, arguably, flavour of the month.

Savage River is one of the most anticipated new plays of the year.
