Tennessee William's 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece of the clash between unrequited fantasy and the harsh light of gritty existence in the real world.

School teacher Blanche DuBois flees to New Orleans for refuge in her sister Stella's home after their ancestral estate is lost to debt and the scandals in her personal life leave her no other options.

The cruelty and interrogation from Stella's husband Stanley makes New Orleans far from a safe harbour for Blanche, and ultimately leads to a brutal confrontation and emotional breakdown.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    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.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    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.
