It might have been inspired by Shakespeare, but don’t expect high art here. However, do expect to be thoroughly entertained.

If you went looking for a show that only glittered then you are out of luck because Briefs always cuts deeper than that.

The very title of the play is pronounced numerous times in its many meanings: A swelling of the heart – emotion, a swelling of the brain – neurological.

Tiny Beautiful Things helps remind us of the tiny, beautiful things that surround us, even when we are sometimes swamped by big, ugly concepts.

Semiotics, semantics, and solipsism sway and slither through the piece, so fear Sophia if you want a cosy cardigan and slippers night out at the theatre.

The play within the play cascades into a convulsive and inexhaustible tirade of production catastrophes, miscues, prop malfunctions, wardrobe clangers, and more.

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.
