Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & a High Death Toll

Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & A High Death Toll is a sensual and salacious musical cabaret with Queen Cannibal, mother of all spiders and the reason Daddy Longlegs got his name, Black Widow.With songs you know and love sung with a twist, spidery banter and the best eight legs in the business - this is a web you'll want to be caught in.This show is a dynamic dive into the original femme fatale’s world as she grieves, digests and gets back on the hunt.

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.

Cadaver Synod | NIDA and bAKEHOUSE Theatre Co
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.
Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.

Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
