Ian Michael knows the importance of telling one’s own stories. He is a proud Noongar man whose recent show HART opened on the 2nd of February in New Zealand at the Basement Theatre in Auckland.

Bruce Gladwin, Artistic Director of Australian regional theatre company Back to Back chats to Australian Stage's Dione Joseph as the company makes it's Edinburgh International Festival debut.

Broden Kelly, Zachary Ruane and Mark Samual Bonanno are idiotic, testosterone-driven and the fact remains, undeniably smart in creating worlds of parody.

It’s the Fringe. Comedy madness everywhere. So when Felicity Ann appears as a flight attendant complete with a set of aeroplane seats announcing take-off you would expect nothing less than a laugh-out-loud bumpy ride through comic heights. 

The poster pretty much says it all. The Casablance-esque forewarns of unrequited love and in this noir-style thriller the stage is set: who is stalking who and what happens when you fall in (and in love) with the world of espionage.
