A thrilling, queasy, intermittently dull yet frequently hilarious romp through a stained fantasia of a society seemingly in the process of eating its own tail.

In the state of Victoria, Family Violence is the term used instead of Domestic Violence. The term superseded Domestic Violence in the vernacular because in police culture, its reporting of and response to, was met with a lethal indifference.

This is big-budget burlesque, with the glamour and production values cranked up to 11, with sumptuous costumes, elaborate props, and a degree of professional showmanship that is second to none.

A first play by Michelle Law, this story takes the form of a (Chinese restaurant’s) kitchen-sink dramedy, one that is poignant and often very funny, if perhaps at times a bit predictable.

Artfully directed by Imara Savage, this new production not only does the play justice, but is a platform for some truly superb acting.

As an empowered and dangerously alluring woman who doesn’t hide from power or fear, Carmen still resonates with audience today and Bell’s production is bold and beautiful.

Not for those seeking a comedic revelation on the road to their own theatrical Damascus, and certainly not for the self-seriously devout, this is a flamboyantly funny mainstream comedy.

While equality may have been achieved according to law in many places, there are still individuals, twisted by hate, who take issue with the freedom to love whoever you choose.

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.
