Opera Australia's 60th anniversary revival of My Fair Lady under the direction of Dame Julie Andrews is a seamless audial, visual and comic delight which far exceeded my expectations.

Like the mythical city it takes its title from, Paul Gilchrist's Atlantis, is about sinking ideals and submerged truths, the manipulation of myth, the power and danger of stories.

My biggest issue is that it is only on for two nights and I want to go every night for the next week at least.

These amazing performers achieve gravity-spurning feats of peril that would seem outlandish if you saw a stuntman performing them in a computer-effects-enhanced superhero movie.

Rather than a relic from a bygone dead and buried time, this production thrillingly shows that Look Back In Anger is certainly worth looking back at.

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.
