There are several clear issues with Sydney Theatre Company's latest production.

- Penny Spirou
Faster is modern ballet in its truest form. The production is segmented into three works, completely unlike each other. They explore moments in time, people, places and how they connect to each other.

Taking Bottom the weaver and his fellow gormless tradies with dreams of amateur theatrical stardom, playwrights Keith Robinson and Tony Taylor imagine what they got up to between the scenes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

- Ashley Walker
This elegantly simple comic premise is spelled out in the title. This is the play that goes wrong and anything that can surely does.

Typically, when artists are described as 'giving their all', it conjures images of a brutal, vulnerable harrowing experience. A form of sacrifice.

Set in a regional Australian pub in 1989, Jim Cartwright’s play Two is almost an anthology, containing no pronounced core narrative, but rather as a showcase for two actors to show their versatility as they double-up in a succession of several roles each.

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.
