Don’t miss STOMP – it will leave you feeling like the world is an unexplored adventure park, in which a satisfying sound is only one rubbish can or kitchen sink away.

Sometimes a production is just SO good its hard to write a review. There are simply not enough superlatives to go around. This is one of those shows. Simply put – its great and you should not miss it.

The Great Illusionist had barely begun before young and old alike responded with delightful giggles. This simple joy was present throughout and was the real magic of the show.

Chekhov is supposed to have said that if an author hangs a gun on the wall at the beginning of a story he had better fire it to signal the end.

Although The Hunting of the Snark at the Sydney Opera House has borrowed some inspiration from the original story, it is hard to compare the two.

Musically this performance was an unmitigated delight. But in my opinion the same could not be said of the staging. Lindy Hume is one of Australia’s most well-known, versatile, and lively directors, but even she couldn’t coax drama out of this work.

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.
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.
