Bree Langridge is an exceedingly charming performer. Her sense of fun is evident from the very start and, as she enters through the audience, resplendent in a dazzling red sequinned dress, she has an immediate rapport with the audience.

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.

There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.

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.

On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
