Every one of the eleven short plays were excellent. Their very different topics and interpretations made for a sizzling night of theatre.

To this critic, as to many Short+Sweet patrons, this programme of two peformances of 12 plays over the weekend of the 20 and 21 March was the most keenly anticipated of the programme. 

A small group of amateur actors, some professionals, no overarching theme for some ten minute plays. What could possibly go wrong?

Lacking the inchoate anarchy that has marked previous season launches, The Blue Room Theatre still stayed well away from dull as an exciting Season 2 line up was announced for 2015.

Another successful launch to another season full of diverse topics tackled in different ways by dedicated performers – The Blue Room Theatre seems set for at least another 25 years of invigorating independent productions.

Families affected by the recent Perth Hills bushfires are being offered free family passes to Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s current season of Tim Winton’s The Deep in Fremantle.
