Ambition, murder, revenge,visions of blood, leering ghosts, and witches incantations - bring it on.

Intertwining movement with live voice, installation, film and music, GroundUP! needs to be viewed in its entirety as a piece of performance art rather than just a contemporary indigenous dance production

What is it exactly that makes opera great? Is it the story, the music, the singers or maybe it’s the sumptuous sets and costumes?

Heterodex | Factory Space Theatre Company

Considering the authors, presumably, set out to put the cat amongst the 'moral majority' of pigeons, they've done an ironic, if unwitting, amount of pigeonholing themselves.

At times funny and sweet, at other times filled with terror and pain, Corin’s writing is elegantly poised where in the joy and random games are balanced by heart wrenching choice.

Those Salem witch-spotters are up to no good again, in this return season of New Theatre’s production of the Arthur Miller classic.

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.
