UNFAIR VERONA (The Misadventures of Romeo & Juliet) 

'Let's be real – This play is not romantic at all. It is not the greatest love story of all time...' 

Two amateur actors and their highly-strung Stage Manager need to step in when a production of Romeo & Juliet goes horribly wrong. Chaos ensues as props go missing, cues are missed, and the jaded lead actress continuously argues how the work of a dead, white writer is no longer relevant in modern society. But the show must go on and these young performers must come together to resolve their offstage drama and present the greatest love story of all time. 

With a cast of three taking on nearly thirty roles, this is a metatheatrical satire on the underappreciation of arts in our world. See Glassroom Theatre Company's return following a four-year hiatus, devised and created entirely by a team of Sydney's newest emerging artists and theatre-makers.

    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
    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.
