Jean Betts’ Ophelia Thinks Harder is Shakespeare’s Hamlet re-imagined. This is Shakespeare shaken, stirred, sieved, a cocktail of interplay.

Two Hearts is a rom com without the com. Which is a pity. It’s a play that sorely needs some com.

The ensemble is really the strength of this production, their energy and tightly drilled moves a pure delight to watch.

This most certainly must see show is stellar storytelling by a star performer, Meg Clarke, blazing not twinkling like a diamond on the stage, ferocious, fearless, fantastic.

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.
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.
